Manual workaround for fetching to disk the “Weather for the Week Ahead” clip found on:

https://www.bbc.com/weather/features/55581056

  1. Use your browser to inspect Page Source
  2. Search for data-parent-pid string
  3. Note down its value, which, in this case, is p093xhx6
  4. Manually reformulate the original URI to https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p093xhx6
  5. Feed yt-dl the above URI
  6. Profit:

youtube-dl -F "https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p093xhx6" =>

Hi! Thanks for creating an issue. I’ve just checked, and I get this issue too. I think this might be a duplicate of #14168 which hasn’t had a response as of yet - it looks like either a bug in the BBC extractor, a lack of proper support for BBC Weather, or some change in BBC’s delivery system. This may be fixed by #23415 which hasn’t been merged yet.
