Description

Using M1 macOS, able to properly download on other sites. It appears all video clips are no longer downloadable when they had been on prior releases a few months ago. It's unclear whether the site changed.

I expect this is the same problem as found for related sites that use the same technology and should be fixed by PR #30149 when it's revived and merged.

[Sipherdrakon]

seems like the API Calls no longer work, so mtv.com is broken again. :-(
