I can download this video without problem,
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdAMr4qmKFA

Below command returns video urls but none of them actually working,
youtube-dl http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdAMr4qmKFA --skip-download --dump-json

This case is only occurs on this video

I have tested on ie chrome firefox neither of working
I get blank page

I run youtube-dl on remote computer and testing urls on my computer, so they are using different IPs
That is probably the source of problem

That is most definitely the source of the problem. At the end of the URL, you see that it is coded for a specific IP address. You need to run youtube-dl on a machine with the same IP address as the downloading machine, although that restriction may be lifted for IPv6 sometimes.
