Streamlink version

Latest stable release

Description

Getting [plugins.bloomberg][error] Could not find JSON data. Invalid URL or bot protection... consistently.
Used to be able to solve this buy trying VPN or a different network. This does not help now.

My guess is that Bloomberg updated something on their side and the plugin is now broken?
Or Bloomberg just update their "are you a robot" check?

Tried changing User-Agent header manually and it did not help. Can someone point out what is the issue here?
