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

I use yt-dlp 2023.12.30 to sniffer [globalnews.ca/live/national/] m3u8 link but yt-dlp_linux report "ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://globalnews.ca/live/national/".
The command I used is "./yt-dlp_linux -f best -g https://globalnews.ca/live/national/".

I am sure we can use browser addon like "stream detector" to sniffer [globalnews.ca/live/national/] m3u8 link and the output link will be like "https://dai.google.com/linear/hls/pa/event/eIIBH8jkR-SWGaD5E4MesA/stream/0bb0d1a6-690f-4132-b222-e0c27ddf8a4d:TUL/variant/e12ba8ddea66bf16ce55ddae0978fbca/bandwidth/3027000.m3u8".

Could you help me solve this problem?

Thank you very much!



### 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
