[tbs.co.jp] ExtractorError: Empty playlist

[shaofreak]

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.03.10
• At least skimmed through README and most notably FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones

What is the purpose of your issue?

• Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)
• Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)

Hi,
I can watch the video with firefox.
Don't know if it's really a bug or a site support request: is TBS japan included ?
