CBC gem unsupported URL error #8382
Comments
Workaround: pass the URL as The CBC Gem extractor and the CBC Gem API always expect a We could do something like this: diff --git a/yt_dlp/extractor/cbc.py b/yt_dlp/extractor/cbc.py

What does the website append to API calls? Imo we should try to emulate the website when possible
My guess would be that those would currently fail, and would continue to fail, so it doesn't really matter |
it appends

Thanks for the workaround. I'm able to download the video this way. As for the proposed fix, if I may add my two cents.. this would also cause urls like https://gem.cbc.ca/the-passionate-eye/ to implicitly go and download s01e01, would it not? May or may not be desirable 🤷♂️ |
Correct. Although full series links are not currently supported, either; only individual season links are supported. Maybe the best solution would be to implement a full series extractor, which would process these films/specials as 1 episode playlists |
Sounds good to me :) |
Working on this now, looks like I can just use the Next.js JSON in the HTML to figure out whether the URL is for a standalone video (like this issue is about) or a series. |
Ok I've opened a PR that should address this: #8790 |

Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood
I get an "unsupported url" error when trying to download from a supported site, gem.cbc.ca.
Expected outcome: the video should download.
I'll note cbc gem isn't completely broken. I also tried to download https://gem.cbc.ca/the-passionate-eye/s03e06, and that one worked.
Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem
