### Region

_No response_

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

I get the Unsupported URL error for videos under the sections Featured on MLB.TV (https://www.mlb.com/tv/shows/mlbtv-featured-svod-video-list/quick-question-spring-training) and MLB Documentaries (https://www.mlb.com/tv/shows/mlb-documentaries-svod-video-list/small-country-big-dreams-x5028). As you can see, yt-dlp doesn't attempt to use the MLB.tv extractor and uses the generic extractor instead. If I retrieve the direct m3u8 URLs, I can download both videos.

@ischmidt20 Can you take a look at this issue?

### 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
