It seems to work for me, perhaps it was a temporary issue?

@franhp The video in your test download needs a login account. How were you able to download the video without including the login parameters?

I'm having problems downloading videos that require a login account (I have a paid Viki account). Someone else reported an identical issues a few weeks ago but it was closed without any clear resolution.

I've updated to the latest version 2020.05.08.

Thanks,

"ytdl-org deleted a comment from issues101 2 days ago"
May I ask for an explanation as to why my comment was deleted? Arbitrarily deleting a comment is, at very least, impolite.

I left a comment before, and it was deleted for an unknown reason that nobody bothered to explain to me. I'll try to leave another comment here, let's see if it will be deleted too...
It is correct that you can get only 480p without logging on. There is apparently another issue related to using credentials, but that issue is different from this one. I'd like to emphasize that in this particular issue, no logon is required to reproduce the problem.
(Still waiting for an explanation why my previous comment was deleted...)
