Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Hello,

it seems that as of today, the tf1 (TF1) website has moved to a DRM protected streaming platform. yt-dlp cannot download videos there any more.

Example:

yt-dlp 'https://www.tf1.fr/lci/le-temps-de-linfo/videos/mort-de-silvio-berlusconi-une-vie-de-succes-daffaires-et-de-polemiques-52186276.html'

ERROR: [wat.tv] 13994339: This video is DRM protected

I am opening this issue to ask if there could be a workaround to implement for yt-dlp since this website change.

Thank you,

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

See ytdl-org/youtube-dl#32299 (comment)

per the upstream issue's findings, everything seems to now be DRM-protected besides short clips/previews. Closing as DRM/wontfix, if someone wants to fix the extractor for non-DRM content, that can be tracked in #7303

I feel like it's a bit early to say that the DRM-free streams aren't available, given I found a workaround very recently. I'm going to investigate @Vangelis66's message sometime soon, and see if my workaround is truly broken.

I'm not gonna reopen this issue though, because I think it's better to close this for now, and reopen if we manage to find a working workaround in the upstream issue
