Like the error message says, please always post the full output. In cases like this it's also a very good idea to test with multiple ISPs, describe which country you're in, and make sure that you are using the newest version.

OK, apologies, I interpreted a recent comment too broadly: #2541 (comment)

Now I understand that that referred only to Unsupported URLs. I had been using the latest youtube-dl release, but the error was 403 Forbidden rather than Unsupported. In any case, this URL works for me now. Closing this issue.
