- [extractor/foxnews] Fix extractors (#7222) Closes #6050 Authored by: bashonly — committed to yt-dlp/yt-dlp by bashonly a year ago
I confirm the existence of the error. The problem does not depend on the country from which I am trying to access the FOX site.
yt-dlp is up to date (2023.01.06)
Will this possible be resolved? People outside the US cannot generate links with the generic information extractor.
Workaround:
