youtube-dl downloading issue

[kaskaï]

I'm trying to download a video from peenemunde.com that requires you to be a member (which I am) and youtube-dl returns this error

ERROR: Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden (caused by HTTPError()); please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type youtube-dl -U to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

youtube-dl is up to date. I was wondering if somebody could help me. Here's what I tried out in cli:

youtube-dl https://peenemunde.quenelplus.com/vod_28493456/720p.m3u8

and with my credentials :

youtube-dl --username xxxxxx --password xxxxx https://peenemunde.quenelplus.com/vod_28493456/720p.m3u8

it seems impossible to provide a solution if we can't try...
then, or post your credentials here (user & pssw) to enter on this site or send a PM to whoever you want ...

I'm a bit annoyed because my login is my personal email address. Nevertheless I made a free registration yesterday and there is not even a check link to click.
Can you please do your own registration?
EDIT : As soon as you have signed in, page reload and you can directly play the video

I tried it with streamlink and was able to get the video by simply adding a http header

You can try the same with youtube-dl

streamlink --http-header Referer=https://quenelplus.com/ "https://peenemunde.quenelplus.com/vod_28493456/720p.m3u8" best -o output_video.ts

Thanks a lot triple 7 , I managed to download thanks to you; I didn't know Streamlink.

Maybe someone will be able to transpose your command line to youtube-dl.

I tried but it doesn't work because --http-header is not an option

youtube-dl --http-header Referer=https://quenelplus.com/ https://peenemunde.quenelplus.com/vod_28493456/720p.m3u8

no you are using it wrong this is how you do it in youtube-dl

youtube-dl --add-header "Referer:https://quenelplus.com/" "https://peenemunde.quenelplus.com/vod_28493456/720p.m3u8"

Youtube-dl has a dedicated --referer option:

youtube-dl --referer "https://quenelplus.com/" "https://peenemunde.quenelplus.com/vod_28493456/720p.m3u8"
