We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

this is a site supported by yt-dlp:

however, #8191 indicates this error might be due to DRM.

I can't access this site since it seems to require an account, but for DASH streams the playlist URL typically ends in ".mpd". yt-dlp can download DASH playlists if you give it the URL. That being said, this seems like some kind of official TV streaming site, so it almost certainly also has DRM on all the video content, so there's likely no simple way to just download it.
