Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

When attempting to download videos from Shahid MBC using yt-dlp, I encountered an "unsupported URL" error. The specific URL I tried to download from is: https://shahid.mbc.net/ar/series/سرايا%20عابدين-الموسم-2/season-72252-94288

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

Your problem URL appears to be for a season/series of some show with linked episodes. The site extractor doesn't support any playlist pages. Also, the episode links are like .../episodes/.../id-{id} and these are also not supported by the extractor. Finally, the site wants payment for these episodes: an account with a paid subscription may be needed to implement this extraction, unless an example with free-to-view shows can be provided.

I already have a paid subscription, how to link it with yt-dlp?

Usually, you would use cookies but it will not help here due to the other issues mentioned
