Have you found this exact URL on imdb.com? It seems as though "list" and "videoplayer" get mixed up. The "real" video link http://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi3478894873 seems to work with youtube-dl.

Goggle, how did you manage to get that video URL?

I first removed the last part of your posted URL http://www.imdb.com/list/ls025720609/videoplayer/vi3478894873, so I opened http://www.imdb.com/list/ls025720609. This is a regular list of videos, but I did not find your video in this list. So I was suspicious, and removed the list/ls025720609 part from the first URL to get to the video directly.

I'm not sure. If the URL posted by antdude is a valid URL, youtube-dl should be able to handle this case.

Not solved. We shouldn't be able to dig for those playlist's specific video URLs to be able to download.
