Ok, as I followed the bug report filing I searched for this bug (incl. closed ones) and found this report.

Server side Youtube error for format 22

I guess I have a similar problem with
youtube-dl.exe --verbose "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77wBecc5LbA"

The URL works in browser ...

So, how do I diagnose and fix that ?
Is it always something like

"Did not get any data blocks"

And is there a way to fix that ?
Or get at least a list of failed IDs, which I could then force to dl with some other format ?
