This was caused by a mistake I made while merging youtube-dl #245. The part that works in yt-dl will be fixed in #280

[zackmark29]

All viki content already DRM protected. There's nothing you can do about it :) And the stream API only returning with MPD Url not the direct links. or try from other country.

I've tried to get the mpd file for 1080p from Germany, US ,UK and India to no avail, looks like they've made 1080p stream DRM only...

@zackmark29 Any idea as to which country has mpd 1080p stream..?

I think any country, the 1080p already DRM. I can still download it but with my personal tool only.

Any idea as to why youtube-dl doesn't pick it up..?

[zackmark29]

Any idea as to why youtube-dl doesn't pick it up..?

Because it's DRM related.

That's a 360p stream

[Anutrix]

How to get 360p or 480p stream, assuming it is still drm-free?
