### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Receiving "Unable to download JSON metadata: HTTP Error 404: Not Found" error on all shows on vicetv.com.  Usually downloading passing MSO credentials and cookies.  For purposes of the debug, I am not passing though I get the same errors either way.  Same URL loads properly in webpage once logged into MSO.

Happens with stable@2024.12.23 as well as nightly@2024.10.22.232922, both via pip.

Also tried with -4

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] 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
- [X] Copy the WHOLE output (starting with `[debug] Command-line config`) and insert it below
