Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

Video from CBC's site will not download, throws an error saying "unable to extract OpenGraph description", then says it's finished downloading the playlist (but downloaded no video files).

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

The workaround is to remove /video from the URL, e.g.:
