Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I tried downloading https://vtm.be/video/?f[0]=sm_field_video_origin_cms_longform%3AVolledige%20afleveringen&aid=171304
You need an account, but it can be obtained for free when you attempt to load the video.

VTM Support for YT-DL doesn't work anymore with this url's.
There was a update on the webpage, so new link won't work anymore.

@dstftw This issue seems to also be fixed with #16038. As now the url's of this form can be correctly downloaded. Could not verify this exact case, as the video is not online anymore.

Has nothing to do with #16038.
