Reproduction Steps

Interactive video is a special type of video in bilibili, different choices will have different results, yt-dlp outputs all branches as a playlist.
https://www.bilibili.com/video/BV1g5pqeBEXP/

• source of yt-dlp: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2025.02.19

Lines 1167 to 1175 in 5338f4b

	if not site:find("://") then
	-- youtube extractor provides only IDs,
	-- others come prefixed with the extractor name and ":"
	local prefix = site:find(":") and "ytdl://" or
	"https://youtu.be/"
	playlist_url = prefix .. site
	elseif url_is_safe(site) then

N/A

I carefully read all instruction and confirm that I did the following:

• I tested with the latest mpv version to validate that the issue is not already fixed.
• I provided all required information including system and mpv version.
• I produced the log file with the exact same set of files, parameters, and conditions used in "Reproduction Steps", with the addition of --log-file=output.txt.
• I produced the log file while the behaviors described in "Actual Behavior" were actively observed.
• I attached the full, untruncated log file.
• I attached the backtrace in the case of a crash.

I've taken a look with hope for small bugfix, but this kind of playlist is not supported by ytdl_hook.lua. We only support lists of urls or multi-segment m3u8. The video in this issue is returning playlist with all chunks as separate extracted entities and there is currently no way to support that without refactoring the parser.
