Description

I have the same issue as above but using a different URL. Added here to avoid duplicates. I am also in France with a local connection.

[louisabraham]

I encountered two bugs. The first was

  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.8/lib/python3.8/site-packages/youtube_dl/extractor/francetv.py", line 103, in _extract_video
    allowed_countries = info['videos'][0].get('geoblocage')
IndexError: list index out of range

I think this is incorrect to assume info['videos'] is not empty.

The second error was

ERROR: No video formats found; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see  https://yt-dl.org/update  on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

and was fixed by bad5288

Thank you very much @gdouezangrard!

[manikbh]

Same problem, it is unfortunate that the fix which works perfectly is not integrated into the release yet...

[djibux]

Hello, I can confirm that bad5288 fixes the issue #26505.
It seems the commit doesn't belong to any branch. How can it be merged into master?

[gdzx]

@djibux On the contrary, it belongs to the master branch in my fork of the repo.

Also if you have some examples of videos that the main release fails to download, please post them!

[djibux]

My bad, I got confused by the message This commit does not belong to any branch on this repository..
Maybe you could submit a PR in this repository?

[llacb47]

Maybe you could submit a PR in this repository?

.... #23000

[djibux]

OK maybe I just need to go to bed ;)
Sorry for the trouble. Hope the PR gets accepted.
