It's a direct link to a mp4 file, why do you need yt-dlp or youtube-dl?
Click on the link or put it into the browser

That link was sent by mistake, this time I have corrected, plz check above link...

Looks like the yt-dlp extractor for jwplayer is broken.
Just download that json file, copy the m3u8 or mp4 urls and download directly.

Need URL.

The link posted points to a json file. There are no m3u8 info.

Kindly explain what exactly do you expect yt-dlp to do with this json file.

Looks like the yt-dlp extractor for jwplayer is broken.
Just download that json file, copy the m3u8 or mp4 urls and download directly.

actually, the jwplayer extractor in yt-dlp isnt broken, it just doesnt support premium with tokens.

it shouldnt take much for a short script to get the response to that url, parse out the m3u8 link and feed it into yt-dlp with "--force-generic-extractor" so it doesnt try to use the jwplayer extractor
