Some videos are served using the rtmp protocol, since we don't have a builtin downloader for them, we use the rtmpdump program. You'll need to install it.

But the video you posted will fail to download, that's a know problem. See #1797 for more information.

By the way, for future reports, please add the --verbose flag to the command, it will provide us additional information needed for debuggin the problem.
