• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2017.12.14

What is the purpose of your issue?

• Site support request (request for adding support for a new site)

This is a brand new web interface of Rai, the main italian radio and television network. No wonder it is not yet supported by youtube-dl. Example of playlists to support are below.

Playlist: http://www.raiplayradio.it/playlist/2017/12/Valentino-881b6a9f-644f-41cc-89dc-aaa010c11816.html

The attached patch for /extractor/rai.py adds support for raiplayradio.it audio items.

For playlists, a new function should be added, to download the playlist json (append ?json to the playlist URL), parse it, and extract the playlist episodes information.
