Thank you for the report, I can perfectly reproduce it. However, the web version doesn't play for me either, so this may be an error on youtube's side.

It plays in the browser for me.

YouTube started listing rtmp streams in url_encoded_fmt_stream_map. (This enables per-format rtmp streams)

Patching.
