Download problem using youtube-dl at www.svtplay.se

Possible youtube-dl bug or svtplay database problem
Problems retrieving videos (files) from svtplay (www.svtplay.se). After contacting the site and downloading initial info it only retrieves a couple of MB (should be around GB) for the following videos Millenium part 5 and 6 as well as 56orna part 2, 3, etc. Then the merge process fails.
Output from youtube-dl with --verbose, namely

I have recently gotten problems with downloading news videos from svt.se (same organization and platform as svtplay.se) and they are definitely not geo-restricted.
What has seemed to work is removing the "--format best" that I normally have in my config-file and manually identifying the URL to the .mpd-file I want in the source code (both steps needed for success, it seems).
As I remember it, it used to just work until maybe a month ago.
An example: http://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/stockholm/kraftig-brand-i-asylboende-i-sodra-stockholm

http://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/stockholm/kraftig-brand-i-asylboende-i-sodra-stockholm is geo-restricted, too.

Programmet kan bara ses i Sverige

There are two videos. The second one is accessible even outside of Sweden.
