Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE

ABC iView exhibits a HTTP 401 error. I have tried other systems and different accounts. All yield the same result.

The ABC iView extractor doesn't know how to log in. If that should be needed, use --cookies ... with cookies saved from your logged-in browser session (see Readme/manual for more).

@Quasar2308 Do you live in Australia, or are you accessing iview through a VPN? Because I suspect that your VPN has been blocked from the ABC iview website, and that it's nothing to do with needing to log in

@gamer191 I am using a VPN. My provider has not been blocked and I can access the video just fine with my account through Firefox. I have had extractor errors when using my cookie so I will need to look into that.

Edit: I have tried different providers and most of them have access to iView. I took that verbose log when using a provider that was able to access iView.
