The extractor expects VOD URLs to look like https://vod.afreecatv.com/PLAYER/STATION/nnnn. Replace /player/ by /PLAYER/STATION/ in your URLs to work around this.

This patch addresses the problem:

Note that the patch can't easily be applied if you have a single-file youtube-dl.exe on Windows. Install Python 3 and use pip to install from the master branch here; then apply the patch; or wait for a new release.

@dirkf commented on GitHub (May 27, 2022): See also https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/3151. Note that the patch can't easily be applied if you have a single-file `youtube-dl.exe` on Windows. Install Python 3 and use _pip_ to install from the master branch here; then apply the patch; or wait for a new release.
