Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

DRM is asked by the website but not required, I successfully downloaded videos with a url I found in my browser's network logs: yt-dlp https://d1asa0nzfd3bqt.cloudfront.net/groupc/live/bcaa1db4-76ef-7e06-8da7-839bd0ad1dbe/live.isml/.mpd\?t\=2022-09-14T12:26:48-2022-09-14T12:28:00 -f 'bestvideo+bestaudio[language=en]'

at least European Union, probably worldwide

I can access it here in Australia, so it's definitely not geoblocked

DRM is asked by the website but not required

I can confirm

[gamer191]

@pukkandan Oh, that message wasn't meant to be me triaging this (also, I didn't attempt to reproduce the issue)

[selfisekai]

it's a site support request, it's simply not implemented, and not a bug, I don't think there is anything to reproduce here

[gamer191]

1. I'm not sure what the process of triaging an issue even involves (just that it involves reproducing the issue)
2. Theoretically I could check if I can reproduce the generic extractor not supporting that site

[pukkandan]

@gamer191 Triaging site request involve:

1. Try to confirm if it's actually a site request. Often site-bug tends to get reported as site request. Though, there are also circumstances where it can be difficult for even devs to distinguish them.
2. Check if the video is playable in browser (without DRM)
3. Make sure the site is not for piracy
4. Add relevant labels for geo-blocked and account-needed

Trying to reproduce isn't often needed when the log is properly filled up. I'm only looking for user errors and tend to assume lack of any malicious intend. So when the posted log has updated yt-dlp and says unsupported URL, it is blindly trusted

So yes, you did triage it even if that wasn't your intention

PS: Besides, selfisekai is a contributor and I have trust they know what they are doing - so I can skip some of these steps 😉
