It would be great if youtube-dy could support this

From what I can tell they are using: https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-packager there is also a player https://github.com/shaka-project/shaka-player (which chrome has integrated)

Thank you for review

DRM

I dont think its always encrypted or under digital rights? I found some good apple links on HLS: https://developer.apple.com/streaming/ If your sure its DRM then I guess there will be no support for a feature request :-(

89z thanks for the help. Looks like you know a lot about streaming. I will try to find something. But youtube-dl works flawless on other sites. Will reply if I can locate anything.

HLS shouldn't be the problem, since it's already supported. From the log the manifest has some unexpected URL format that needs more investigation.
