### Region

USA

### Example URLs

https://www.wcvb.com/article/boat-whale-rye-nh-capsized-video/61678814

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

I was able to get the video by using video download helper in firefox on linux (without the extra extension) and copying the url from their gui then pasting it into yt-dlp but not with the url used in the cli output below. I'm guessing based on the name, Lumier (french/canadian/new england), in the id for the video in the HTML that the web developer for this site is local to New Hampshire, USA so the issue may be specific to this particular wite but maybe you can somehow add support for other hearst media news sites in the same code change. I'm using yt-dlp version 2024.07.23.232906. Please and thank you.

### 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
