“This video is unavailable,” when it is available on YouTube

[Telofy]

Hecko there!

I just came across a video that plays just fine on YouTube, but youtube-dl can’t download it. Embedding seems to be disabled, as the embedded player also shows the same error message. (I hope the video isn’t going to be deleted.)
