+"""
+Monkey-patch for mpegdash to handle non-integer AdaptationSet id/group attributes.
+
+TIDAL recently started returning MPD manifests with string values like "main"
+for the AdaptationSet `id` and `group` attributes, which mpegdash expects to be integers.
+This causes a ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'main'
+
+This patch modifies the parse_attr_value function to gracefully handle
+non-integer values for attributes that are expected to be integers.
