Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

The extraction of the site tv.sohu.com has a bug. The format "ori" links are the same as "super", but actually they are different. "ori" links should be 1080p and the files should be larger than the "super"s. See the output log above

[yan12125]

For this video, 1080P requires login. Maybe that's the reason.
