Livestreamer indicates "unable to open URL" and "client error : bad request"

Has been working flawlessly until recently. No periscope url will process without error. All other video services appear to be operating properly. I've been pulling url's from onperiscope.com and have tried the full url's as well as tiny urls (not necessarily expecting that to work). Any thoughts. I found this while looking around:
#1070

Seems related:

livestreamer https://www.periscope.tv/w/<redacted>
This is /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/livestreamer/plugins/periscope.py
[cli][info] Found matching plugin periscope for URL https://www.periscope.tv/w/<redacted>
error: No streams found on this URL: https://www.periscope.tv/w/<redacted>

Did note that when viewing a periscope stream on the site, there is a new pop-up stating that flash is required. Maybe the code that's causing that is interfering?

(p.s. suggest editing the name to include Periscope)
