la1ere: french overseas (9 regions) public and free

[ecodix]

CONTEXT

French overseas public channels are available without authentication from the portal : https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/

Apparently, all formats/manifests are the same as those from france.tv (extractor francetv.py):
indeed, a few videos are even shared by both sites.
For its developers, it should be straightforward to derive a new extractor la1ere.py from francetv.py (only two URL templates/pages embed videos) - i really hope my feeling is right, and would gladly help if i had some knowledge in video streams and python.

The video offer is free, very large and covers documentaries, news, fictions of many cultures. It would be a nice gift for those interested in those, as internet speed may be slow overseas, preventing streaming :)

9 regions are covered (below, refers to one of)

• guadeloupe
• guyane
• martinique
• mayotte
• nouvellecaledonie
• polynesie
• reunion
• saintpierremiquelon
• wallisfutuna

Here is the mosaic of videos available for the chosen region:
https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/REGION/programme-video/
(as said before, a few of them are also available at: https://www.france.tv/la1ere/REGION/toutes-les-videos/)

TEMPLATES OF EMBEDDING URLs

In the end, final pages embedding videos may have 2 paths only:

• https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/REGION/programme-video/diffusion/PAGE
• https://la1ere.francetvinfo.fr/REGION/programme-video/SHOW/diffusion/PAGE

The latter is used for series, news ...
The extractor may be flexible and even not consider/whitelist the region list, letting it be free (prophylaxis/evolutions), as the substring "/diffusion/" already filters templates.
