Nevermind, now that the feed has started youtube-dl works. However mpv nor vlc can play the resulting file. Using livestreamer solved my problem.

@brunal How did you use livestreamer to play the downloaded video?

[brunal]

@mholt I simply skipped using youtube-dl and did livestreamer http://youtu.be/7Xm6y0LzlLo IIRC. Since the feed's now over and I don't have access to the computer where I did all this (→don't have the exact commands) I cannot help you further.
