Description

Hey Sport5.co.il extractor is not working. See log attached.

[Ghost93]

Both test cases fail at the original site (sport5), an error message shows “video unavailable”. I guess it’s because they are too old (from 2014). I can provide recent videos as tests if needed.

1. Existing test 1 has a clip ID as the value of the videoUrl query parameter.
2. Existing test 2 has a video iframe whose src link contains a clip ID and leads to a JS player with the code for handling a clip ID.
3. With code for these two cases in place we can get metadata for these two test URLs, but the actual media links from the m3u8 manifests give 404.
4. There doesn’t appear to be any geo-blocking of these URLs in the UK.
