Thank you. I made an attempt and this happened. Not sure what went wrong, but the output was a very small MP4 file (no actual video to view) and even smaller M4A file.

did you try youtube-dl / yt-dlp ?

youtube-dl --cookies "cookies.txt" "https://abc.com/shows/general-hospital/episode-guide/2021-04/08-general-hospital-40821"

OMG, regular youtube-dl didn't work with the ABC link, but I didn't think to try yt-dlp with the ABC link. It worked--easy peasy! Thank you!!

i do not have access so i do not know why you are getting that error i just know that youtube-dl or yt-dlp works on this site.

OK. This works with USA VPN.

youtube-dl https://abc.com/shows/general-hospital/episode-guide/2021-04/08-general-hospital-40821

This used to work without a VPN.
