videos downloaded from Reddit and Twitter can' be open by a media player or browser #20370

TaktakTaktouk · 2019-03-16T09:26:37Z

I updated youtube-dl to the last version 2019.03.09. now when I download a video from Reddit or Twitter the video is saved correctly but I get an error when I try to play it with any media player or a browser. I tested that with on Mac and Linux Debian 8 also I have the last version fo FFmpeg 4.1.
Here are two examples you can test them and tell me if the video is playable or not.

I really need to know if this is an issue of youtube-dl or the problem is me.

That twitter link seems to work for me, using the correct link:
