### Region

Worldwide I think? Definitely in the USA

### Example URLs

- Collection: https://means.tv/programs/mmn
- Single video: https://means.tv/programs/mmn?cid=4003569&permalink=mmn-daily_122024
- Single video: https://means.tv/programs/mmn-daily_122024

### Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

This site is for anti-capitalist content. The example URLs all contain free downloads (the collection contains a mix of free and subscription), I checked the supported sites list and did not find it. I tried running with both the collection and the first single video and the generic extractor was unable to process either request.

### Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

- [X] Run **your** yt-dlp command with **-vU** flag added (`yt-dlp -vU <your command line>`)
- [X] 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
