Description

Youtube-dl seems unable to find videos on any of the pages I have tried from https://www.itv.com/btcc/btcc-2019-races recently. I was able to download from itv.com/btcc links I had in a batch file around January but the page format seems to have changed from itv.com/btcc/races/[page name] to itv.com/btcc/articles/[page name] since then.

Same error here. ytdl fails to collect any video id from the page:

@franhp I incorporated your changes and tried at https://www.itv.com/btcc/articles/btcc-2020-brands-hatch-gp but didn't work either. Did you try them recently? Or maybe something else changed in the meantime since your patch?

[WolfganP]

Oops, my bad. I incorporated the changes on @franhp branch but didn't noticed this #25254 pull was more recent. The later worked perfectly for me.
