The following URL (cinchcast) works fine in a browser, and supposedly cinchcast is supported, but this URL seems to give youtube-dl some trouble:

Any updates on this? I understand that work on this is on a volunteer basis, and maybe it's not the highest priority, but I haven't seen any activity or response to this in 5 weeks, and it's not a new feature request, it's a fix to a broken site that is advertised as working.
