VLC fails to create demuxer for some streams

VLC fails to create demuxer for HLS streams from some of NRK's servers:

cvlc https://nrk-od2.telenorcdn.net/open/ps/dnpr/dnpr63701115/d0bc193d-1.smil/sc-gaFEAQ/v4_index.m3u8
VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b)
[019e5f48] main interface error: no suitable interface module
[01961b98] main libvlc error: interface "globalhotkeys,none" initialization failed
[019e5f48] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[61b7dda0] adaptive demux error: Failed to create demuxer (nil) Unknown

This is a video stream without audio. VLC does not find demuxer for the audio stream either:

VLC media player 3.0.20 Vetinari (revision 3.0.20-0-g6f0d0ab126b)

[009395a8] dummy interface: using the dummy interface module...
[61d7dd48] adaptive demux error: Failed to create demuxer (nil) Unknown

index.m3u8 is https://nrk-od2.telenorcdn.net/open/ps/dnpr/dnpr63701115/d0bc193d-1.smil/index.m3u8

VLC v. 3.0.20 Vetinari for Windows has the same problem., but OMXplayer can play the streams.

I am using RPI3B+ with Bullseye light without X.
