This episode download shows error, but alternate episodes of same show work.  
this one works for example - https://www.nbc.com/brooklyn-nine-nine/video/renewal/9000167063

everything is updated.  Same error with youtube-dl

I recognize that one file not downloading isn't a big issue, but perhaps it represents part of something bigger.

Thanks for all the efforts on this project.
