[CartoonNetwork] hlsnative stopped working

[matthewglane]

The problem I'm having is similar to #22386, but this time with Cartoon Network. Just like the issue mentioned, I have/am:

• [x] I'm reporting a broken site support
• [x] I've verified that I'm running youtube-dl version 2019.11.28. (The bug also occurs in version 2019.11.22.)
• [x] I've checked that all provided URLs are alive and playable in a browser
• [x] I've checked that all URLs and arguments with special characters are properly quoted or escaped
• [x] I've searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones. (The issue mentioned was fixed by an update.)

Command Used

youtube-dl --verbose --ap-mso "Charter_Direct" --ap-username "PRIVATE" --ap-password "PRIVATE" --write-info-json --hls-prefer-native -o "output.mp4" "https://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/mao-mao/fright-wig-episode.html"

The highlight here is WARNING: hlsnative has detected features it does not support, extraction will be delegated to ffmpeg. Cartoon Network must have changed something on their side that broke hlsnative. The issue started while using version 2019.11.22 and has persisted into version 2019.11.28.
