To answer your own question, try providing cookies extracted from the browser session where you can view the vods (see FAQ), which apparently solved your issue as from #27790.

If you think the answer should be "yes" and it isn't, you'll need to provide a verbose log of the failing command and be prepared to share credentials with any investigator. I don't have much knowledge of this extractor module: it doesn't seem to have changed significantly in yt-dlp.

There are these known issues:

Read the FAQ answer concerning how to export and pass cookies. This documentation is there to help you.

For further assistance, I repeat:

... you'll need to provide a verbose log of the failing command and be prepared to share credentials with any investigator.

Look at other issues for examples, but be aware that there may not be anyone who is able to offer 1-on-1 help.

Or, you could just point your phone camera at the browser while it plays the video.
