Description

Tagesschau.de has launched a new web design. The permalinks have not changed, but the structure of the website has. youtube-dl is no longer able to download the videos.

[Nudin]

Some context: Tagesschau is the most known news format of German public broadcasting. Due to that their audio and video content can be legally downloaded – they offer a download button, however in the new web design the download button is integrated into the player and therefore is not accessible for browsers without javascript, some RSS readers and other use cases.

[silsha]

Quick addition: There is a JSON URL for each media page, which provides all the important information (including download links).

• Media: https://www.tagesschau.de/multimedia/sendung/ts-41249.html
• JSON: https://www.tagesschau.de/api/multimedia/sendung/ts-41249.json

#28435 would fix this. We now have to wait for it to be merged eventually.
