Description

Douyu livestreams always fail with an ExtractorError as shown above. I've checked for old issues but could only find ones with different causes. Douyu did not work for quite some while now but unfortunately I cannot tell since when exactly. It is just now that I decided to finally file an issue.

Note that the stream I used above might not be online when you decide to check it. But really any Douyu-stream should (not) work. If you need any more info, let me know.
