  EXTRA
• I've tested multiple videos. Some work with generic extractor, some do not.

Example URLs

Videos that do work with Generic extractor:

• Single video: https://nypost.com/video/live-mayor-de-blasio-holds-a-press-briefing-2/
• Single video: https://nypost.com/video/live-mayor-de-blasio-updates-on-new-york-citys-reopening/

Videos that do not work with Generic extractor:

• Single video: https://nypost.com/video/elderly-man-dead-after-being-pushed-off-bus/

• Single video: https://nypost.com/video/house-falls-into-a-river-as-family-flees-in-the-nick-of-time/

• *Single video: https://nypost.com/2020/05/28/paris-restaurant-offers-michelin-starred-to-go-menu-as-france-prepares-to-reopen/

• Browse more videos: https://nypost.com/video/

How to identify which videos do and do not work. When browsing for videos at the above link,

Any video thumbnail that displays a play button with a time duration next to it, will not download. (*)Similarly, video thumbnails that do not display a play button at all, will also not download. The only videos that will download display a play button but do not display a time duration.

Description

This is a request to add a proper extractor for nypost, given that only some videos download but most do not.. I have searched this repo and there are no open or closed Issues or Pulls containing the words nypost nor nypost.com at all. Thanks in advance for your consideration!
