Looks like this requires ISM manifest Protection parse support, which youtube-dl does not have at this moment:

• https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/2020.09.20/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L2387-L2388

if it does, this command should succeeded:

youtube-dl https://eventivevod.akamaized.net/4a553b1b-6056-47d8-a66e-9bb4a24ebd3a/5f223bc1e41623007eb1e542.ism/manifest

Similarly, streams are skipped if they are DRM protected:

• https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/2020.09.20/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L2160-L2166

perhaps youtube-dl does not support any DRM downloading on purpose.

Also, after passed DRM issues, may need to use cookie mechanism to skip implementing log in functionality:
