Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Hello,
From what I can tell, the full https://www3.nhk.or.jp/ site is no longer working for grabbing urls with youtube-dl. It has been running just fine until today when I notice that it started throwing unable to find episode errors for any urls I tried to feed it. Thank you all for your work.

This appears to have mysteriously fixed itself. Thanks anyway.
