I've tried tinkering around with the rtmpdump call to make it more verbose, but I'm sorry, it doesn't make much to me. Very superficially it looks like a typo is causing rtmpdump to add a "u" before the URL, but I'm sure that's a mistake on my part.

Additionally: I can watch the video in my browser, so this is not caused by any regional restrictions or anything.

I can't find any indication of the additional u. youtube-dl calls

rtmpdump -q -r rtmpe://v19.nonxt4.c.youtube.com/videoplayback -o BwDlobymMk0.flv.part

to which rtmpdump promptly says

ERROR: You must specify a playpath (--playpath) or url (-r "rtmp://host[:port]/playpath") containing a playpath

Also, we fail to get the player_url. I'll have a look into it. The FMS on youtube's side seems to be pretty new - it speaks protocol version 10, which may not even be supported by rtmpdump.

Good, that's probably just me being an idiot, then.

Yes, this was as far as I could get, I think. I'm not really a programmer and I didn't spend much time on it.

Hi guys, I've tried to download the above mentioned URL using youtube-dl-2011.10.19 + rtmpdump-2.4 and it worked.
However, it still fails the following URL:

Yes, "Fear and Loathing" downloads OK using youtube-dl with RTMPDump-2.4 compiled from git.
But, like bishkv said, this Russian video won't download:- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=whHySar4EoY
