It would be great if you could support this site (at least for Japanese speakers and learners :)

Thank you for the report. Support for fc2 has been added in youtube-dl 2014.05.13. Use your package manager to update.

I only ever get (random video):

Nobody mentioned that video, so we did just test with the one that was mentioned, i.e. http://video.fc2.com/en/content/20121103kUan1KHs . I've created #2912 to deal with the issue you are describing.

Is that a different error?

@felagund Thanks for the report, it didn't recognize it because the urls doesn't have the language part, it will work in the next version. For the next issue, there's nothing wrong in opening a new issue, it usually makes tracking them easier.

It doesn't work anymore again.

Also, #2912 / #3171 is still not fixed.

Shame I don't have time to figure how to make it work for unauthenticated user (limits), sigh..

I bumped my fork some time ago, to latest upstream master (someone mailed me that it doesn't work anymore) and it fixed problem described by @reyaz006 (for me at least).
I believe it was the same issue as #3727 .

Btw. Sorry for spamming issue tracker with commits ,I didn't think it would stay on fork's master for so long and that I will need to update it (referencing issues in commit message was a bad idea).
