Sorry, the video in question is blocked both in Germany and the US, so I can't really debug this. Do you have a global testcase?

It looks like there are two other examples that have been discussed here, that throw that error, but I suppose nobody has resolved them yet or at least, not to the level where I can download my one. I'm using the latest youtube-dl.py so I guess it hasn't been resolved yet.

Here are two others people have run into the issue with. I tried them and both give the same error for me too.

#665 has been solved, and #343 is an RTMP URL. Is yours one as well? I.e. can you the video in a modern webbrowser without Flash?

If I use the flashblock extension, for Chrome, then I can't even see the video in my browser.
It looks different to #343 'cos it doesn't say RTMP when it tries to download it.

this one is #655 not #665 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hoJTBnIbAJI

Do you run into the same error as I mention, when you try to download these?

You can control-c if it even reaches 1%. For me it doesn't even get that far
