I think there's something unusual about that DOkx_zPW4k4 video. When I go to it now in Firefox I see Normally when a video has been deleted or made private, I can't see anything else about it. I just get a fairly minimal You Tube page with the error message. But on this video page I can see everything except the video itself. I can see the video title, the channel it's on, and "Published on Sep 24, 2015". The Subscribe and Like/Dislike buttons are present. and so is the "Up next" panel on the right. I don't remember ever seeing this combination of symptoms. |

I'm using the Windows exe version of youtube-dl (2016.12.15). I get the error "Got server HTTP error" whenever I try to download the a specific video, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DOkx_zPW4k4 . All other YouTube videos (I've been downloading dozens and dozens over the past few days) work fine (except one other one had a slight glitch, it couldn't retrieve the name of the account that posted the video for some reason, but that one still downloaded), including videos I downloaded after I attempted downloading this one.
The URL opens and plays just fine in the browser (Chrome).
In actuality I haven't been downloading videos, I've been downloading the audio from videos by using -x, which I also passed as a parameter when trying the above URL as you can see in the debug info.
