youtube-dl is an excellent program because it has lots of features and usually downloads videos in a wide range of formats from a variety of websites, however on "https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5232792/?ref_=nv_sr_1" when you first go to that page, a trailer starts to play, and youtube-dl doesn't seem to be able to download it. The video loads and plays fine when you first go to that page in a browser, and other programs and browser add-ons are able to download the video properly. How is an average user supposed to know how to find the correct download url for a video if necessary, and shouldn't youtube-dl find the correct download url for a video automatically if you provide it with the url for the page where the video plays properly on the website? Is there a way to fix that? Thanks.
