Without knowing more about the page in question it's kinda hard to say. Why do you think ffmpeg / ffprobe would find the URL if yt-dlp and others will not? Frame challenge: would it not be more advantageous to submit a request to yt-dlp to add the site you're trying to get to work? The folks who work on it will surely be adept at figuring out which bits are required.
