ERROR streamlink exited with error code: 1

ERROR Failed to download!

I’ve check README and I think all dependencies are up to date.

Sorry I cannot reproduce this.

It may be that your network is not allowed to stream SBS videos. Can you watch SBS videos using a web browser on the same computer where you’re running WebDL?

Thanks for checking. And good testing tip.

I restarted my VPN software (always connected to Australia) and everything is good now. The computer is in Australia and it had Internet so it’s hard to understand why it failed. Also, I assume iView and SBS are similarly geoblocked so weird that iView was OK.

I guess somehow the VPN software did something odd that confused SBS.

Not a bug. Something odd with networking that VPN restart resolved.
