Originally created by @arisboch on GitHub (Nov 7, 2015).

Could you add support for downloading videos from the video site of MEMRI?
Here's a few links to random videos from the site:

http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5148.htm
http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5142.htm
http://www.memritv.org/clip/en/5141.htm

Note that every or almost every video has also a transcript of the speech linked to it, it'd be nice, if you could just integrate it into the .description file or something like that.

Apparently this problem was resolved, since the Memri TV YouTube channels are up and running again.

Now it's been more than a year and nothing happened. Why not? Their YouTube channel was unblocked again.

Because

the site-specific extractor was canned.

Here's a current clip: https://www.memri.org/tv/chinese-professor-shen-yi-deepseek-digital-silk-road.

The page is not handled by the Generic extractor but it looks like a simple job to create a site-specific extractor. The embed page linked in twitter:player and elsewhere contains media URLs (RTMP and HLS) in a JS object. Metadata is available in the main page.

In the intervening 9 years, the project has created a swathe of core functions and methods that make this extraction much simpler. Anyone who decides to work on this should study these and some of the newer extractors to avoid reinventing the wheel.

No, it's actually not resolved because the YouTube channel contains only 25% of their actual content. It was blocked and banned in the past and they had to start a new channel.
