Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE

I have used youtube-dl on my Windows 8.1 OS without a problem for several months. Approximately a week or two weeks ago it ceased working with xHamster. It still downloads flawlessly from other sites.

This is true, at least if you want to use the compiled EXE file.

But if you have python installed as a full version, I think it should work just like the Linux version. But I could be wrong on this point.

Update: I have just installed Python on a Windows PC. After that you can actually run youtube_dl normally (see DEVELOPER INSTRUCTIONS in documentation), with the adapted changes in the extractors.
