[brightcove] Can't download a video from un.org

[xlfjn]

Hello,
I want to download a video clip using youtube-dl from www.un.org/chinese/News/story.asp?NewsID=27724
However, it didn't work:

$ youtube-dl -v http://www.un.org/chinese/News/story.asp?NewsID=27724

Then, I tried the link to the embedded Brightcove player. It didn't work either.

#12480 (comment)

Err, no, this is not same as 12480, which is fixed in 12178 (not yet merged).
If you had a different question, not sure what it was.

Thanks for the report and sorry for the delay. Such Brightcove videos will be supported in the next version.
