crash on new.livestream.com

[rzm1]

I tried to copy files from livestream - the default player cannot play with multiple speed. I have installed youtube-dl on my 64-bit machine with Debian 7.3:
curl https://yt-dl.org/downloads/2014.01.23.4/youtube-dl -o /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl

Simulation load works:
rzm@ukwial:~,0> youtube-dl -s 'http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1782125/events/2706995/'
[livestream] 1782125/events/2706995: Downloading webpage
[download] Downloading playlist: Gender oczami specjalistów
[livestream] playlist Gender oczami specjalistów: Collected 2 video ids (downloading 2 of them)
[download] Downloading video #1 of 2
[download] Downloading video #2 of 2

but in the default mode when the program actually tries to download the files it crashes:
rzm@ukwial:~,0> youtube-dl 'http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1782125/events/2706995/'

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'startswith'

I get the same result with the URL with some variables appended - http://new.livestream.com/accounts/1782125/events/2706995/player?width=640&height=360&autoPlay=true&mute=false

Mmm, this works fine for me with the current version 2014.01.27. Does the problem persist for you with the current version?

I also got the error, but now it works.

[rzm1]

I have tried the 2014.01.27.1 version and it works indeed. The issue can be closed.
Big thanks for the tallented people who fix services the other people made crippled.

[jaimeMF]

Thansk for answering. Actually we didn't change anything, it also works on the old version. Probably they have changed something in their page.

[rzm1]

Now I see why I could not find in the source any correction concerning this problem.
The service page has changed really. Now it also has pdvod.new.livestream.com... links embedded. With such one can just use wget to retrieve MP4s directly.
I have both versions of the page saved if somebody is interested.
