Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Play Suisse supports allowing an account to view content on it from the EU, rather than just Switzerland. yt-dlp however, only supports playing videos from Switzerland (as you can see from the URL: https://stipo2-vod-prod.akamaized.net/stipo/2775323_2cd91dcea634c9b16152646b8a61d661/hdntl=exp=1713887365~acl=%2fstipo%2f2775323_2cd91dcea634c9b16152646b8a61d661%2f*~data=hdntl,allowedCountries%3dswiss~hmac=cbbc90accaf77a1bdb857db3ec2d60ec65bad1c306b4b5e532cba6a5946628cd/index-f5-v1.m3u8, allowedCountries%3dswiss).

A URL from network debugging of the Play Suisse website shows that it supports playing videos from the EU: https://stipo2-vod-prod.akamaized.net/stipo/2775323_3e6188165c4e076d28f0ed578c759dfa/hdntl=exp=1713887440~acl=%2Fstipo%2F2775323_3e6188165c4e076d28f0ed578c759dfa%2F*~data=hdntl,allowedCountries%3Deurope~hmac=87e851f110c4e180c80b34cd9efbfa19a5b4a8de696e07ea6edbbf1bbf6f54f9/index-f2-v1.m3u8, allowedCountries%3Deurope.

I'm not sure exactly how yt-dlp gets the URLs for Play Suisse videos, but it would be nice if this feature were somehow supported.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below
