Format code 251 is the problematic audio. Every video I have tried that has 251 as the best audio has failed to download with the same error. I was able to download all other audio streams (249, 250, 140, and 171)

Got the same error. For this video my Firefox always plays audio format 140. I don't know how to make YouTube play the best audio (251). Anyway it may be a YouTube server side error and it might be fixed soon.

Oh, from Firefox's debug console I see there's a request to format 251. It returns 500 Internal Server Error and YouTube's player decides to play the next available format. I'm closing this as it's not youtube-dl's fault and we can do nothing for that.

This has been a problem for over 2 weeks. I think youtube-dl should fallback to a lower audio quality or something else.

@yan12125, please reopen. 2 weeks is not a temporary youtube server problem.
