This is the first time I have ever encountered an error with youtube-dl:

Of course, I tried to watch it on YouTube and it said "not available in your country". I was unaware you could rent vids on YouTube in the first place. So, I guess there's no real way around that unless I use a chain of proxies? Not too worried though. I'm sure it's on somebody else's channel. If not, I'll find a torrent for it. 👅
