I am looking to download a video from the Epix.com website. I am able to download the video (up to 720p) using the free Chrome add-on 'Stream Video Downloader' so it seems like it should be even easier to grab using youtube-dl and may allow me access to the 1080p version. I have attempted accessing the video with cookies and logins but the results are the same for both. I was wondering if anyone else out there has had any success accessing the epix.com website using youtube-dl.
