Description

pac-12.com is the Pac-12 Conference web site. It hosts a variety of static free videos and free livestreams of Pac-12 sports events. There are also links to pay channels, but I don't expect youtube-dl to support those.

I have sent a pull request for a youtube-dl extractor that supports the free streams on this site: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/pull/28157

Note: My extractor generally works, but sometimes when a livestream starts with a commercial, youtube-dl captures the audio only of the commercial; the audio of the stream itself is not captured. I'd appreciate any suggestions on debugging or workarounds. This is hard to debug because it can only be reproduced while a live sporting event is in progress.
