@dstftw: Tried it again. Now it behaves slightly different. It gets a few errors, but starts downloading, then gets more errors on the fragments. Can you reproduce this?

I can reproduce the behavior from the first log that is also reproduced in browser.

Thus this is clearly server side problem.

@dstftw: The video works in the browser for me. The error in the screenshot usually comes when you've blocked JavaScript or IP adresses (browser add-ons, etc.)

[dstftw]

I can watch other geo restricted videos in browser.

@dstftw: Maybe there is a slight error with the metadata for this particular video that makes youtube-dl fail, but the browser is still able to play it.
