Description

Similar to previous issues with the Roosterteeth extractor, attempting to download bonus feature episode from Roosterteeth's site fails as it fails to get the relevant metadata. Manually extracting the m3u8 and providing that to youtube-dl works fine.

I've implemented a fix to this issue. I will submit a pull request in the next time.

youtube-dl was still able to extract the m3u8 just fine, only gathering the metadata has failed.

The website now uses another API endpoint to gather the metadata of the videos like title and thumbnails. It seems that the old endpoint used by youtube-dl only covers "real episodes", but the new endpoint seems to cover "real episodes" and bonus too.
