It looks like youtube-dl is unable to download this video by default, unless some -f flag is specified. I want the best compatible video and audio, so I've specified -f 135+bestaudio for this particular video. It would be awesome if youtube-dl's default would be best video which has a compatible audio, and it would be able to download that without having to specify -f.
