Since you can't view that video in a browser without a login, youtube-dl won't be able to download it either. Have you tried providing login credentials? (I'm not sure whether yt-dl needs to understand the login mechanism though.)

[Steveland]

Thank you barsnick for your help. I did not try with login credentials. I'll try this!

[barsnick]

Hi Steveland, I tried that myself and it doesn't work, probably because yt-dl can't handle the credentials with -u and -p (i.e. doesn't know how the login page works).

If any developer gets that done, I'm sure the rest is easy. The direct URL to the video is contained in the HTML5 enabled video page, in the tag <source src="https://host/videourl.mp4" ...>. I copied that URL into a download tool (or a separate browser tab), and the complete 720p video landed on my disk.
