Firsttv provider doesn`t work as for now. Maybe they changed video backend or like that. Anyway, test urls fail to download:

youtube-dl http://www.1tv.ru/videoarchive/73390
[1tv] 73390: Downloading page
ERROR: Unable to extract video URL; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; type  youtube-dl -U  to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output.

I has my own code to download that videos from new backend (PHP, i`m not good in Python, unfortunately).

class First
{
    public $title;
    public $link;
    public $url;
    public function __construct($url)
    { 
        $api = 'www.1tv.ru/owa/win/ONE_ONLINE_VIDEOS.archive_single_xml?pid=';

        $tokens = explode('/', $url);
        $pid = end($tokens);
        /* Fix for Urgant show, contains 'p' before pid */
        $pid = ltrim($pid, 'p');

        $item = simplexml_load_string(get($api.$pid))->channel->item;
        $this->title = current($item->title);
        $this->link  = current($item->link);
        if ( false !== $media = $item->children('media', true) ) {
            $this->url = current($media->content->attributes()['url']);
        }
    }

It is in PHP, but idea is pretty clear. Using this video title and direct url can be extracted. For example, for test video above direct link is

http://redirect.1internet.tv/promorolik/2014/02/olimp-DU-20140210-02.mp4

get() function is a simple curl wrapper to download content by url.
