Description

The episodes plays in the browser but gives a DRM error in youtube-dl. This is different from videos that are premium only. Premium only videos are protected in the browser and when using youtube-dl. I use no login while using the browser and the video is accessible without an account or premium subscription.

Does not play in browser.

In my browser (Safari) the episode plays just fine. Maybe the episode is geo-restricted or something. Very strange
