unable to extract OpenGraph title from CBC.CA

Hi @johnnytornado3,

Apparently the OpenGraph title is not set for a number of CBC videos. A new PR will be submitted to address this.

Cheers,

Parmjit V.

Parmit I found that the url leads only to a couple of short teasers when clicking on the play arrow. However if I right click on the play arrow and select 'open frame in new tab' Then that leads to a different url in which youtube-dl works as usual. The entire 45min. video can be accessed. However I notice that going with youtube-dl default parameters gives corrupted output for a second or two now and then. There are messages now and then about incorrect time codes Thanks Parmit looking forward to hear from you again Johnny THE OLD SIGNATURE BOX

Hi Johnny,

The PR I have submitted will address the missing OpenGraph title warning for the preview videos.

The sporadic incorrect time codes you have noted for the full-length videos sounds like a new and separate issue, and should be opened as such.

Thanks!

Parmjit V.
