I'm having the same issue when trying to download a video from NBC.com using youtube-dl 2017.06.18. I tested downloading a YouTube video and it worked, but NBC.com always produces this error:

EDIT: in case this helps solve the issue, I figured out how to manually download a video from NBC.com. I viewed the HTML source of the page in Chrome and looked for this tag, which can be found in the <head> section:

<meta property="og:video" content="http://pdk.theplatform.com/current/pdk/swf/flvPlayer.swf?id=player&amp;v=%2F%2Fplayer.theplatform.com%2Fp%2FNnzsPC%2Fwidget%2Fconfig%2Fselect%2Fmedia%2Fguid%2F2410887629%2F2869143%3Ffwsitesection%3Dnbc_saturday_night_live_video_v120%26form%3Dvars%26component%3Dplayer%26autoPlay%3Dtrue%26referrer%3Dfacebook&amp;carouselId=148621">

After decoding it, I extracted this URL from the v parameter inside the content property:

//player.theplatform.com/p/NnzsPC/widget/config/select/media/guid/2410887629/2869143?fwsitesection=nbc_saturday_night_live_video_v120&form=vars&component=player&autoPlay=true&referrer=facebook&amp;carouselId=148621

Adding http: to the beginning of it and accessing it produced this output:

After decoding this twice, I got the URL of the video from the releaseURL parameter near the beginning of the output:

When accessing the URL, it turned into this temporary URL:

The video then started playing in the browser, and I was able to download it by clicking the Download Video icon in Chrome's media control bar.
