I removed deredactie.be, cobra.be and cobra.canvas.be because they do not exist anymore.
This also fixes vrt.be and sporza.be which was not working anymore because the website were overhauled.

Let me know if I need to change anything!

I can confirm the fix works.

@principis Is it possible to use youtube-dl for the livestream? I get a 500 error when using the live stream, all other url's work fine!

I don't think so. I can try to make a fix for it but I'm not that experienced with it. :)

Is it possible for this to be merged? Or do I need to change something?

Do I need to add extra commands to make this work? I just used youtube-dl.exe . Or should that work and did it break in general? Any help would be appreciated!

@nicerman1 VRT might have changed something on their end, doesn't seem to work any longer with the current extractor implementation in youtube-dl. I was however able to download an episode by finding the link to a MPD (MPEG-DASH manifest) in a JSON response and pointing youtube-dl to that link

EDIT: nvm this method above works, but the issue downloading was easily fixed after logging in via youtube-dl
