Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

No login info required, tested video link is an unlocked video. Same error occurs on locked videos when account info is provided, so the issue isn't simply the free videos. TruTV support outdated?

[rpvcg]

truvtv, like other turner sites, has decommissioned the cvpXml system and replaced it with new json media urls (ngtv.io). I don't know offhand if youtube-dl has been updated to support the ngtv media urls for any of the other turner sites. If it has, it should be straightforward to add trutv.

[Malcorio]

Are you aware of any program that does currently support the new system? I'm expecting to be without phone reception for a few days on a trip, and it'd be nice to have some stuff I haven't seen yet downloaded. No big deal if it's just a waiting game, but doesn't hurt to ask.

Just wanted to check in here - the problem persists on my end (version 2018.09.18).

It looks like TNT / TBS have been updated to use the ngtv media URLs - any chance we could get TruTV updated as well? Not sure if they could be combined into one extractor or not.

@burkasaurusrex Streamlink downloads TruTV content just fine.
