YouTube said: This video is not available

[bakif]

Hi,

I'm running the latest version.

• I've verified and I assure that I'm running youtube-dl 2018.04.25

I have:

• At least skimmed through the README, most notably the FAQ and BUGS sections
• Searched the bugtracker for similar issues including closed ones
• Checked that provided video/audio/playlist URLs (if any) are alive and playable in a browser

What is the purpose of your issue?

• Bug report (encountered problems with youtube-dl)

The URL in question is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsC2bwEu5cw

I was able to download the same video from a Mac!! without any issues, and I have the same version
running on the Linux machine.

After checking many other videos I have concluded this is a random behavior.

You did not provide account credentials.

But why it's working without account credentials on my Mac? or am I missing something!!

[dstftw]

Prove it works in incognito tab without logging in and without using any anonymizers.

Here is my prof:

Again: prove you can view it in browser at the same machine where you're trying to run youtube-dl with the same IP address, without logging in and without any anonymizers.

Yes I confirm the video can not be viewed from the machine I'm trying to run youtube-dl (HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found)

thanks & sorry for the inconvenience.
