I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2016.09.11.1
Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

When only a single format uses the m3u8 protocol, the fixup fails to be applied.

Example failing URL: http://www.tf1.fr/tmc/quotidien-avec-yann-barthes/videos/didier-deschamps-souhaite-bonne-chance-a-quotidien.html

CBS appears to be affected too:

youtube-dl http://www.cbs.com/shows/superior-donuts/video/n606KxiDW9XuHS2oGXGt3Ps8jNvqwe_j/superior-donuts-pilot/

Fails with:

Setting --merge-output-format mkv as suggested at https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/9913#issuecomment-250731749 did not have any effect.

@mrplePurple you're problem is different, it happened because avconv is symlinked to ffmpeg(#8720).

I have the same problem or a similar one using youtube-dl 2017.10.15.1 with ffmpeg 2.4.13 to download the same TF1 video that johnpatch initially gave. Adding -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc to the ffmpeg command solves it.

Calling youtube-dl with --hls-prefer-native doesn't help, but --merge-output-format mkv works.

@nahoj commented on GitHub (Oct 16, 2017): I have the same problem or a similar one using youtube-dl 2017.10.15.1 with ffmpeg 2.4.13 to download the same TF1 video that johnpatch initially gave. Adding `-bsf:a aac_adtstoasc` to the ffmpeg command solves it. Calling youtube-dl with `--hls-prefer-native` doesn't help, but `--merge-output-format mkv` works. ``` $ youtube-dl "http://www.tf1.fr/tmc/quotidien-avec-yann-barthes/videos/didier-deschamps-souhaite-bonne-chance-a-quotidien.html" -v ...

@nahoj for me it was the opposite of what you said, as below:

~$ youtube-dl https://youtu.be/xxxxxxxxx --hls-prefer-native
