Description

WRITE DESCRIPTION HERE
I tried, like earlier, to rip from NRK. This has worked like a charm for years.

alias nrkrip="youtube-dl --write-sub --sub-format ttml --convert-subtitles srt --embed-subs $@"

I've tried without the named arguments as well and the output above is with the defaults.

you obviously did not check #25594

Well, nothing new there that works, at least

May I add this: Around June, Youtube-DLG and the then latest version of Youtube-DL started to fail in downloading single episodes of NRK's drama selection. I could still download playlists, i.e. episodes 1-6 of 6 by simply pasting the playlist URL, not the episode URL. However, in August no downloading was possible of either playlists or episodes.

The above pertains to drama series and other region locked programmes that NRK is not showing outside Norway. I am in Sweden, hence affected by regionblocking. As of today I can download NRK's own news and other non-regionblocked programmes from NRK TV.

Can we expect a fix in Y-DL? I am very untechnical, hence loving Y-DLG and Y-DL which has worked great on NRK (and SVT) for years.
