Unable to download ESA's videos with youtube-dl

[MichelLanne]

Hi,

The new ESA's Philae lander on 67P comet is the opportunity to see that youtube-dl can't download videos such the one in "http://www.esa.int/Our_Activities/Space_Science/Rosetta/Philae_comet_touch-down_webcast".

The "downloadHelper" add-on for Firefox sees a video on this page, but is unable to download it either.

The comments obtained from Youtube-dl on command line are :
