Support Channel 9's new login required videos - Unable to open URL - 403 Client Error: Forbidden for url

[Ryan Foyle]

I'm getting the following error on a few Channel 9 shows not all but some.

Ive updated livestreamer, python, lxml and pycrypto and still doesn't work. Issue on both OSX and Windows.

It looks like Channel 9 has started requiring logins to stream some videos. For example trying to play The Big Bang Theory from the website displays this message:

To watch this video and enjoy all of 9Now’s great content, login or create a free My9 account

9Now is now totally out as per invalid token, any chance to update with a new one?

File "D:\projects\delx-webdl\brightcove.py", line 89, in fill_children items = page["items"] KeyError: 'items'

Print of page show:

Tried to find the new token but out of my luck.

I have attempted to debug under Eclipse to figure out what is happening, however I am unsure if this is a bug in the code, or that Channel 9 is no longer accessible via this script. Any ideas?

Sorry, I'm not likely to write code to bypass the DRM on Seven and Nine.
