This happens on WIndows and Mac with Python 3.9.1

Same for me but i think the Dev has abadoned the project...

Oh hey there, didn't see this issue before. Seems like an API change on southpark's side... I'm currently very busy and cannot promise I'll fix this soon but I'll have a look as soon as possible.
If anyone wants to create a PR, you'd be welcome :)

The url that is being used returns a 301 (for my location, at least):

$ curl -i 'https://southpark.cc.com/feeds/carousel/video/06bb4aa7-9917-4b6a-ae93-5ed7be79556a/30/1/json/!airdate/season-9?lang=en'
HTTP/2 301

and if you follow the redirect, you get a 404. 😐

Is anyone working on a PR or has found a solution? @mityax

[ThisLimn0]

Well, yt-dlp‘s south park downloader is working properly again.
