Much the same from UK. The 128k audio is in the combined formats at 540p/720p/50fps, 96k max for 25fps.

The error occurs when some API call to Pluralsight returns nothing and the extractor tries to parse an empty string as JSON. Although your log has no traceback (nor URL)...

Feel free to share.

Are you using the release version or the patch from your issue #30824?

>Same for me: > >$ youtube-dl -F --verbose https://www.arte.tv/fr/videos/100225-000-A/sagrada-familia-le-defi-de-gaudi/ ... Plainly not relevant since Arte is not IMDB. See #30878.

The IMDB link works with the yt-dlp extractor. The [yt-dl patch](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30824#issuecomment-1090310225) uses the same approach, so it could work too. For code coherence, the yt-dlp extractor should be back-ported.

The issue is about IMDB, not Arte.fr. See https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/30919 for Arte. This issue for IMDB remains open since the symptom is not identical to that in #30824, but the same...

See the (edited) topic of the issue: `[IMDB] ...`. The Arte issue is #30923, so read that. Any work-around (there isn't one) would be described or linked from there.

Sorry, obvs meant #30919, thanks for the hint.
