Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Not really sure as to why I'm getting this error. I've tried doing the same command output on a test stream you can access and download from Zaiko, and that seems to be working fine? Both FFMPEG and Nightly yt-dlp is up to date.

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

I'm willing to share my account details if need be to test this!

I'm familiar with the extractor, and I'd be willing to look at this, but it may take me a few days to get around to it.

Same problem here.
Apparently they have some jwt protection before the stream now.
so in initial_event_info it's jwt_token_url instead of endpoint .
Then you can read the webpage in that url, which will give you an object with a playback_url
Using the playback_url as the stream works.

I don't have the setup to do a PR right now unfortunately.
