Description

There is different bugs about several ARTE pages but not about the ZDF Arte Mediathek, so I opened this bug.

As written above, youtube-dl is the only way for me to watch online resources. I never got videos to work in my browser (firefox), not on youtube, not on zdf page, nowhere.

The main zdf mediathek page works fine. Only the ARTE videos give the error mentioned above.

I have that error for long time now but until now I was just patient to wait if it will be fixed eventually.

Duplicate of #29893 (yes, really).

Fixed in git master with merger of #30527:

$ python -m youtube_dl -v -F 'https://www.zdf.de/arte/mit-offenen-karten/page-video-artede-mit-offenen-karten---die-alpen-ein-europaeisches-gebirge-100.html'
