Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
BDSMLR.com is an adult blogging site, created as an alternative to Tumblr, when Tumblr suddenly decided that it no longer wanted to host adult content. Although images dominate most pages, people will occasionally post short video clips.

BDSMLR isn't directly supported, but YouTube-DL falls back on its generic extractor. Sometimes this works and sometimes it doesn't. I know what causes it to fail (how the video URL is referenced in the page source), but I don't know how to fix it as I don't know anything about programming in Python.

To be honest, I don't know that this IS a bug, but since the video URL can easily be found in the source by simply searching for ".MP4", it seems like YouTube-DL should be able to find it.

Here is a page where YouTube-DL can download the video:

And here is a page where YouTube-DL fails to find anything to download:

https://asian-porn-backagian.bdsmlr.com/post/221792446

It's easy enough to find the video URLs by looking at the page source, then copy and paste them into any downloader, but it's just more convenient to feed the page URL to YouTube-DL and let it find the video on its own.
