Description

Looks like site format changed again (?) and youtube-dl cannot download public tracks from mixcloud anymore. I searched for similar bugs (#22447, #22378) but they have different tracebacks and error messages.

Broken for me too, in version 2019.10.29 except I get a slightly different error:

ExtractorError('Failed to extract matching stream info')
