Am I to assume that this is why the browser states that I need to enable DRM in order to play the video? I also attempted to load a variety of content from abc.com, both episodes as well as clips, and all of them have the enable DRM notification, which would suggest abc.com is not usable with youtube-dl anymore. Either that, or I'm missing something here.
Well, interestingly enough, I try that Grey's Anatomy episode you mention, and, without specifying any --cookies or --ap-mso options, it downloads just fine (or, at least the first two minutes worth of data before I cancelled the download). So, without any further evidence, I am currently left to assume that the DRM in the show is preventing the download option.
Apparently my previous communications lacked clarity. I did not mean to suggest the presence of the DRM is causing the issue, but that the lack of a DRM free option, and, thus I should have stated "DRM only" rather than just "DRM," though I assumed this would have been understood.
I don't care anymore.
The top-level metadata for a show might say it's DRMed (yt-dl might believe that and skip the download; the browser might also believe it and show a diagnostic that DRM/EME needs to be enabled). But, the actual stream might not be restricted as claimed.
In any case, the original log never saw the media but failed at the MSO fence; duplicate of #11257 etc.

Description
I am attempting to download videos from ABC.com making use of my Comcast account, in which the post url is unable to be extracted. In an attempt to get even more debugging data, I passed the entire process through Fiddler proxy to see what was happening. What appears to be happening, when attempting to load sp.auth.adobe.com, a series of 302 redirects occur until the original abc.com url is loaded again. Below are the HTTP requests and responses with potentially sensitive values replaced with
