For reference, this affects version 2018.11.23, and an URL like this doesn't work either:
https://tv.nrk.no/serie/nytt-paa-nytt/2018/MUHH50003418/avspiller
Same message about collecting 0 video ids.

Output of --write-pages for the above url attached.

I managed to download the video above through inspecting through the firefox a playlist xhr request, and ran what I found:
youtube-dl "https://httpcache0-47115-cacheod0.dna.qbrick.com/47115-cacheod1/490363/0/hls/muhh50003418/playlist.m3u8?b=10-3500&bw_start=1200&no_audio_only&no_iframes&no_subtitles"

I figured out that it's only the URL scheme that is different. If the URL properly gets recognized as a NRKTVEpisode (not NRKTVSeries), it will download just fine. Here's my fix:

diff --git a/youtube_dl/extractor/nrk.py b/youtube_dl/extractor/nrk.py
index a231735fb..ef452c7d7 100644

Note this may break actual series. I didn't run the test suite or anything, I only downloaded Lindmo and Nytt på nytt. ;-)

@barsnick are you willing to make a PR?

@barsnick are you willing to make a PR?

Sure, will do. I will try to improve the _VALID_URL furthermore, and run the tests. Too bad the currently provided tests already fail. ;-)
