Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I'm using a http proxy since I can't access youtube directly. I can watch the video on youtube website, I can also access https://www.youtube.com/yts/jsbin/player_ias-vflok_OV_/en_US/base.js, too. I can download other videos that don't require js player. I'm not sure if the problem is caused by my proxy service since it shows that http.client.IncompleteRead. I don't have another proxy service to test on it.
