Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Downloading from WELT-Mediathek (https://www.welt.de/mediathek/) partially works with the generic extractor (but without proper format info), but some videos can not be downloaded at all.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

[X] Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
[ ] If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
[X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

It doesn't look like any of those videos are playable in a browser either. Or are they geo-blocked?

z1atk0 commented 1 year ago

Sorry, seems you're right, my bad! There's a note saying "Diese Sendung ist zur Zeit aus lizenzrechtlichen Gründen nicht verfügbar.", which roughly translates to "This program is currently unavailable due to licensing reasons." I also tried from a server hosted in Germany (I live in Austria), but the result is the same both with yt-dlp and in a browser, so it's probably not geo-blocked.

Still, it would be nice to have at least the available ones working with proper format info. :slightly_smiling_face:

At least the first test page has HTML5 video and metadata in a ld+json block. As the generic extractor sees the HTML5 video it probably ignores the ld+json.
