you should use the relocation url ==> http://www.vevo.com/watch/USRV81400345?syndicationid=bb8a16ab-1279-4f17-969b-1dba5eb60eda&shortlink=ew6elh&country=US to download the video

[TheKorn2]

Thanks, but how could anyone know that offhand?

[tinybug]

If you open it by the browser, you will see the relocation url.

[TheKorn2]

Fair enough! I don't think it was redirecting when I filed the bug, but definitely can't say with 100% certainty. Works with the non-redirected url, so closing for now.

Reopening, youtube-dl should follow the redirect

[tinybug]

yes, i think youtube-dl should follow too.

Closing as the current version (2015.12.10) handles redirections correctly. Feel free to open new issues if there are other problems.
