It looks like only certain shows are affected... I tried this one here, which seems to work:

Ahh okay - I think I found the issue: Those videos are DRM protected, but the extractor does not recognize the field in the JSON response.

Here is the json for the Ab ins Beet episode:

But I do not understand why the script does not raise the ExtractorError...
