dozens of other video links [here](https://github.com/lamw/vmware-explore-2024-session-urls/blob/master/vmware-explore-us.md)

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

These are videos from VMware's technology conference. They are free to watch for everyone without login, from what I can tell.

They have a `master.m3u8` that gets loaded through JavaScript, and if you feed that m3u8 link to yt-dlp, download works fine, so it's just a matter of extracting the m3u8 link from the page/JS

Playback seems to use the BrightCove player which seems to be already supported for other sites in yt-dlp

### 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
