Description

I'm making a backup of all my content online, and archiving my Periscope videos failed on this one video, which is playable via the web browser: https://www.periscope.tv/balupton/1dRJZmOWmYVGB

Adding --referer https://www.periscope.tv/ seems to work.
I'm not sure if this is extractor problem or specific to that url.

[balupton]

Thanks, can confirm it works. I've updated my scripts to auto attach the referrer property:

• balupton/dotfiles@b58b5f6
• bevry/dorothy@96d9793

I'll leave it up to someone else to decide what to do with the status of this issue.
