# Summary

I'm using the newest yt-dlp version, 2023.12.30. I've found that the RÚV (ruv.is) extractor does not work for some (?) new videos, notably [1]. yt-dlp falls back to the generic extractor for [1], which fails to work with a 424 HTTP error.

The video in question [1] plays fine in a browser on the same computer.

## Steps to reproduce

`$ yt-dlp 'https://spilari.nyr.ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/svar-vid-brefi-helgu-with-english-subtitles/35763/al201h'`

## Expected result

Video gets downloaded.

## Actual result

`ERROR: [generic] Unable to download webpage: HTTP Error 424: Unknown (caused by <HTTPError 424: Unknown>)`

See below for details.

## URLs

1. https://spilari.nyr.ruv.is/sjonvarp/spila/svar-vid-brefi-helgu-with-english-subtitles/35763/al201h

### 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
