youtube-dl: 【CeskaTelevize.CZ】 Download NO Longer Possible

@vpodzime Someone fixed it already for yt-dlp:

https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/commit/443b21dc4e499286df3852f88fbd48e7f61b1f6a#diff-77727401d445bb2863b8509fa248a57e8a7d4e8aa71766d7ef269376b52c6229

Issue should be closed, URL is dead

There are plenty of other URLs to test, but it seems that with https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/30713 it works just fine. At least I can download https://www.ceskatelevize.cz/porady/1097181328-udalosti/221411000101209/ (yes, it takes multiple tries to get, because the download crashes, but I got the whole show).

Hi team,

Please help? There seems to have been a major change to the site and neither Youtube-dl nor Yt-dlp works for me now.

NOTE: /IVYSILANI is no longer available, and merged with /PORADY, which results in the following error “Unable to extract iframe player url”. Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Thank you! NiesmialyGosc

I cannot explain all the steps precisely.

• Obtain source code of youtube-dl (install with pip or git clone, or download zip from the Code menu in https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl or https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/releases and unzip) • Find file youtube_dl/extractor/ceskatelevize.py and modify the line (or replace the file with https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/8d89a7b4957791b455bcfbc7571078ac7212469d/youtube_dl/extractor/ceskatelevize.py ) • Run the modified version of youtube-dl (maybe cd or set PYTHONPATH variable to the top of youtube-dl then run python -m youtube_dl)
