[drtv] No longer works, they must have made some changes on their servers as it was working a few days ago.

If the purpose of this issue is a bug report, site support request or you are not completely sure provide the full verbose output as follows:

youtube-dl --verbose --list-formats "https://www.dr.dk/tv/se/bedrag/bedrag-iii/bedrag-iii-4-10"

Add the -v flag to your command line you run youtube-dl with (youtube-dl -v <your command line>), copy the whole output and insert it here. It should look similar to one below (replace it with your log inserted between triple ```):

Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

This used to work, some investigations of how to make it work again is probably needed.

Yes, definitely something changed in the API provided by https://dr.dk which is here: https://www.dr.dk/mu-online/Help/1.4.
When I look up the unique identifier bedrag-iii-4-10 I can find the referenced manifest which almost looks like it used to:
https://www.dr.dk/mu-online/api/1.3/manifest/urn:dr:mu:manifest:5c4740c16187a51250a0ee7c

However, the field Uri is now null, where it used to have a long URI containing different quality options etc. (I don't recall the details). I have never used youtube-dl before, but had my own script to download shows from DR for offline viewing, but it stopped working today and I googled my way here. Let me know if I can assist in any way to find a workaround.

I can confirm that dstftw's correction of drtv.dk worked nicely 24 hours ago (not sure about subtitles) but fails again. Both evoking main.py and using latest version of the binary. I see you are looking at it again. Thanks for the effort.
