Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Right now, youtube-dl is unable to download iqiyi's licence anime, which is both geo-restricted(mainland China), and originally can not be buffed by its own client.

The proxy I used is from http://cn-proxy.com/

In fact, in May 15, youtube-dl could download the so-called "iqiyi's licence anime", they may have fixed it after that. It is my appreciation that youtube-dl helped.

Looks like a problem of your proxy. Can you watch this video in browsers with 218.202.111.10:80?
