The video is not available from my country and when I try to download with youtube-dl I get brightcove said: This player is not enabled for HTML5 delivery (with the change in 4d46c1c68c).

Yes I get the right error message with the change you did, thank you.

The video is actually not available in HTML5 so the message is right, only in Flash (with DRM), that's why I'm trying to get it (flash is too slow), is there any way to do it?

http://www.zeit.de/video/2014-01/3021528351001 results in the same message (ERROR: brightcove said: This player is not enabled for HTML5 delivery.). Is it even theoretically possible to download such videos?
