Description

I'm attempting to download VOD of the olympics from NBC using SlingTV and I am getting this error.
I used the web url as well as trying to find m3u8 links in the dev menu, both resulted in a failure
I was told on discord to tag @wesnm
TY

[wesnm]

I don't have another MSO account to confirm this with, but I'm nearly 100% certain it's because the 2020 Olympics uses a different scheme now compared to 2018, and will require the extractor to be modified.

Yeah, it looks like that PR author has done some of the work to fix the extractor.

Hi, I was just leaving a comment on ytdl-org/youtube-dl#29665! I think my youtube-dl PR is functional though maybe not yet ready to merge. I'm not sure how this project differs from that one but it looks like any merge on that end would eventually show up here?

[pukkandan]

@nchilada Yes, if your PR gets merged upstream, it will make its way here too. If possible, I would like to get it merged without waiting for if/when upstream merges it. I sometimes just take the PR and merge it myself. But since I cannot test this, you or someone else will have to make a PR here and work with me to get this merged

[kyjb70]

Want my account?

[pukkandan]

You can DM me on discord, but since I'm from India, I don't know whether it is actually accessible to me

You don't need any account to replicate this, just vpn your way to the us and try.

@fosam Your log seems to be showing a different problem than the one this issue is adressing

[wesnm]

The nbcolympics:stream extractor is currently not working, although @nchilada has a fix. This is slightly different, though: the URL doesn't match the nbcolympics extractor _VALID_URL regex. The file format has changed as well, so the extractor won't work even if the regex is updated.

@wesnm

One thing the "live" status does is determine if youtube-dl will delegate to alternate downloaders. If an event is flagged as live, it will only download using ffmpeg with a single worker, which is much much slower.

I think you are confusing yt-dlp features with youtube-dl. There are no multithreaded downloads in ytdl

Well, I mean that the alternate downloaders (e.g. aria2c) themselves may have multiple workers.

[pukkandan]

Downloading fragmented videos with aria2c is also a yt-dlp only feature :D

[wesnm]

Alright, I keep getting my wires crossed somehow...!
