[USAToday] 5150793002: Downloading webpage
ERROR: no video on the webpage
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl/youtube_dl/YoutubeDL.py", line 797, in extract_info

ExtractorError: no video on the webpage



However, I'm able to download a video using this URL:
https://hlsmedia.gannett-cdn.com/authoring/video-renditions/d2fb38fe-811e-4b93-acd7-ded8dda8efb8/065950b2-f0ee-4b37-ae6a-03c9082cf922/1080p_30fps,720p_30fps,480p_30fps,master.m3u8
Had to use "inspect element" in browser for it. Is this something that can be fixed? or am I missing something?

.m3u8 is not a video format
