ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1)

Description

The real url is https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/somos-documentales/avion-novias/6704549/ but as it's said in others issues it needed change play by alacarta.

[dirkf]

Actually, that's not quite enough. ValueError: not enough values to unpack (expected 2, got 1) persists even if the RTVE extractor from the git master is tweaked to handle /play/ URLs.

The issue is fixed by the new PR #31241, which supersedes PR #29816. From the UK I get some 403s that may not occur in RTVE's region, or under some other circumstance.

ok, I did:

git clone -b rtve-fixes https://github.com/mildsunrise/youtube-dl youtube-dl-rtve-fixes

python3 youtube-dl-rtve-fixes/youtube_dl/__main__.py https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/somos-documentales/avion-novias/6704549/

and work it.

Why master haven't integrate this fix yet?

Thanks.

Neither the PR author nor I have progressed it.

seems gets 720p and not 1080p?

This works, but I can't figure out how to download the original version audio. For instance, for this video:

https://www.rtve.es/play/videos/el-comisario-montalbano/voz-violin/6636027/

-F lists some video formats and an audio format, none of them have the original version audio, but that's selectable on the web player of the URL above.
