Hi First, current Second, the extractor uses AppleHLS streams (with AES-128 encryption), produced for mobile devices, to do the actual download; I am currently unable to check the type of stream methodology UKTVPLAY implement on desktop browsers (clients), most probably it be either AdobeHDS or MPEG-DASH, no doubt both with DRM turned on Focusing just on the mobile streams exploited by yt-dl, the master playlist URI
gives the false impression I have access to listed variants: The bitter truth is that while the So, my gut feeling is you're not in the UK, but use some means of geo-location spoofing for your browser to work; that may or may not support the HLS streams tried by yt-dl; if it's a Smart DNS service, they might have configured it to work for desktop browser streams, but not for their mobile counterparts; if you're using a commercial HTTP/Socks5 proxy (or a SSH tunnel that creates a local Socks5 proxy), you need to consult yt-dl's documentation on how to make these available to yt-dl; a full blown, system-wide, UK VPN is expected to work both in your browser and yt-dl... In any case, this does not appear to be an issue with yt-dl; in the off-chance you're indeed located in the UK, then I hope you've enjoyed this small analysis, as nothing else comes to mind for you to try... |

with no response from @geekcroft, I guess as @Vangelis66 suggested that he was using something specific in the browser(proxy or an extension) to access the videos. |
