It fails because there is no actual video on the page, just a picture that links to the videoplayer page.

If you click on said picture, a new tab/window will open with https://www.3sat.de/mediathek/?mode=play&obj=70466 – and that URL works in youtube_dl.

The dreisat extractor supports just these …/mediathek/… URLs: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/b2727d0bee61de8ea6ca0b67ba162abacea15233/youtube_dl/extractor/dreisat.py#L19

Thanks very much. it works

1. on the picture, copy link location
2. youtube-dl "https://www.3sat.de/webtv/?171211_unbekanntes_korsika_online.rm"

dreisat.py did not work for me

I'm glad it helped.

That dreisat.py is just the "plugin" youtube_dl uses for 3sat.de, it's not meant to be run separately…
