## Description
It looks like thisoldhouse.com has broken things with youtube-dl yet again. The videos play correctly in the browser, but throw the above JSON parsing error when I attempt to download them.
They also recently changed their embedded player, making it tough to find the actual video URL by inspecting the page, so I haven't even found way to download the stream and bypass the parsing error yet.
