One or two weeks ago site of DMAX (DE), was completely redesign, and new URL and way of working with video was provided (all video of season are on same page without change URL for each episode). Now youtube-dl couldn't work with this site anymore.

Some analysis on how the site seems to work, maybe it helps someone build something

When requesting https://dmax.de/sendungen/goldrausch-in-alaska/
The response contains some "hyoga-player" element:

...
<hyoga-player
    uid="<uid>"
    playerselector="hyogaPlayer-<uid>"
    videolibrary="videojs"
    sourcetype="sonic"
    locale="de"
    playertype="showPlayer"
    
    showid="6018"
    playbacktype="video"
    id="hyogaManager-<uid>"
    
    
    endpoint="https://eu1-prod.disco-api.com"
    realm="dmaxde"

...

"showid", "endpoint" and "realm" seem to be important

An authorization token seems to come from here (header excerpt):

GET /token?realm=dmaxde HTTP/1.1
Host: eu1-prod.disco-api.com
Content-Type: application/json
Origin: https://dmax.de
Referer: https://eu1-prod.disco-api.com/

{
  "data" : {
    "attributes" : {
      "realm" : "dmaxde",
      "token" : "<token>"
    },
    "id" : "token-<some-id>",
    "type" : "token"
  }
}

When searching devtools for the showid, I find this request (note the showid in the url):

GET /content/videos//?include=primaryChannel,primaryChannel.images,show,show.images,genres,tags,images,contentPackages&sort=-seasonNumber,-episodeNumber&filter[show.id]=6018&filter[videoType]=EPISODE&page[number]=1&page[size]=100 HTTP/1.1
Host: eu1-prod.disco-api.com
Content-Type: application/json
Authorization: Bearer <token>

{"data":[{"attributes": {"airDate": "2020-12-15T23:00:00Z","alternateId": "goldrausch-in-alaska-shutdown-vs-schatzsuche","availabilityWindows":........

The response seems to contain all the available material for the show.
From this list one would select the wanted episode.

Here 185908 seems to be data[0].id from previous request:

GET /playback/videoPlaybackInfo/185908?usePreAuth=true HTTP/1.1

data.attributes.streaming.(hls|dash).url then contains the playlist. I was able to play the episode in vlc by opening the hls url.

Any manual way to download a file from the site?
I could not figure out how to do that.

@HendrikF Thank you for the process. For my browser extension, I implemented your process and it works.

Here is an excerpt of the source code in JavaScript (which can be executed in the browser console on the page of a video). You can use it for your Python script.

const extract = async function () {
    const API_URL = "https://eu1-prod.disco-api.com";
    const player = document.querySelector("hyoga-player");
    if (null === player) {

    const token = json.data.attributes.token;

    // Récupérer l'identifiant de la vidéo.

They seem to have introduced a little change lately. You need to supply a "valid" User-Agent header. Using plain curl did not work anymore, while it worked when I figured out these things. Maybe they are blocking curl specifically. I did not really test that, as the User-Agent of a current Firefox worked.

It seems that this site, if still operational, can't be properly supported by yt-dl because individual shows don't have specific URLs. If anyone can provide either

a working URL for a playable (ie, without DRM enabled) individual show, or
a current series URL with its .HAR trace from the browser,

it may be possible to update the support as part of #32235.

Yeah, unfortunately they completely changed their site a few months ago.
They removed URLs for episodes it seems and they introduced DRM. There was no DRM before.

Hm, they removed URLs for episodes, but shows can still be addressed.
Maybe it could download whole shows as a kind of playlist?
DRM might still be a problem, and I did not look at the API, whether you can still get HLS URLs.

It's possible to open page with episode, for example:
https://dmax.de/sendungen/112-feuerwehr-im-einsatz - serials, at right just above episode thumbnails "Alle Videos zur Sendung" (All videos of serial), and it's opens https://dmax.de/sendungen/112-feuerwehr-im-einsatz/videos with all available episodes.
Moreover, here you could get page for each episode, for example https://dmax.de/sendungen/112-feuerwehr-im-einsatz/rettung-aus-dem-wald
I don't know if it'd help to download video, but url are still available.

You are right. I remember that this button existed before the redesign. Somehow I missed it.

I just had a look and there is still a <hyoga-player> with an assetid instead of a showid.
Also I recognize similar API calls like in my first comment.
So maybe they only redesigned the frontend.
Unfortunately that player is generated using JS. Previously it was included in the static HTML.

https://dmax.de/sendungen/112-feuerwehr-im-einsatz/rettung-aus-dem-wald finds no media with PR #32235. I expect DRM is the reason (it is). There should be a check to detect this.

The non-JS page https://dmax.de/sendungen/112-feuerwehr-im-einsatz/videos contains a ld+json video playlist (ItemList), each item of the form

    {
      '@type': 'VideoObject',
      'position': 2,
      'name': 'Feuer im Restaurant',
      'description': 'Feuerwehrleute müssen auf alles vorbereitet sein. Denn sie wissen nie, was sie beim nächsten Einsatz erwartet. So wie in Mainz, dort ist offenbar ein Restaurant in Brand geraten. In Potsdam besteht ebenfalls Handlungsbedarf. Denn aus dem Fundament der Humboldtbrücke steigt Rauch auf. Das Bauwerk stammt aus den Siebzigerjahren und der Zugang zum Gefahrenort gestaltet sich schwierig. Und auf einer der wichtigsten Verkehrsadern Deutschlands hat sich ein schwerer Unfall ereignet. Auf der A2 in Richtung Hannover ist eine Person in ihrem Fahrzeug eingeklemmt.',

      'expires': '2026-05-30T22:00:00Z'
    },

That's definitely something we can parse and extract, if the videos in the list have any playable media links.

This DRM error message also appears to me, but I can still watch the videos in the browser, even if I deactivate DRM in about:addons (Firefox).

As you can see, the JSON quoted above distinguishes between ClearKey and (other) DRM. It should be possible to handle ClearKey, but https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/7098 applies.
