[remitamine]

it's geo restricted.
the api request contains this:

{
  "Video": {
    "id": "7153933",
...
    "block": "GEOBLOCK",
...

which map to this message:For legal reasons, this video is only available in Switzerland.

It does not work via youtube-dl with Swiss IP either (can be watched in browser). f4m does not work due to unsupported akamai player verification.

[remitamine]

is it the akamai playerVerificationChallenge?
if it's the case i send pull request to prevent it(#6408).

[dstftw]

It's probably it but it won't anyhow help in this case. Moreover I'm not sure whether ; in pv-2.0 is always a sign of player verification.

[remitamine]

i based the code on parts of AS code that deal with playerVerificationChallenge in the akamai plugin for francetv player.
