My bad: I should have specified that it's _/non-Youtube videos/_ that
sometimes require specifying the URL to the manifest/m3u8 file.
Like I said, the goal is to use a script to 1) find that URL and 2) pass
it on to youtube-dlp.
wget, curl, or similar should be able to do that.
What language are you intending to write the script in? BATch files are
ghastly clumsy at extracting text; PowerShell may well be better, but
I've never got around to learning it thoroughly; something like Perl or
Python are usually preferred for this sort of work, or even just
JavaScript or VBScript, which last two may be run on Windows by
installing the Windows Scripting Host package (if you still can, I have
it here from way back when; the hosts are CScript.exe for a command-line
interface and WScript.exe for a GUI).
