Hello,

I'm trying to download a video from Pluto TV, but I'm getting an error 404 message.

# yt-dlp https://pluto.tv/fr/on-demand/series/665711b9a086180013d7d411/season/1/episode/66587df1fe060c0013c0d701

However, I double-checked the URL, it is the right address. Any idea why yt-dlp can't download this video?
Thank you.
