How about these URL?

Yeah, seems to be broken:

@johnjohndoe The URL http://www.wdr.de/tv/rockpalast/extra/videos/2014/1125/beatsteaks.jsp works fine for me. Please post the entire output you get when running youtube-dl with -v. See our contribution guidelines for more tips on effective bug reporting.

@DrMcCoy It looks like that specific video is indeed missing a source attribute. However, it doesn't play in the website either. If it does play in a web browser for you, please open a new issue and mention where you got it to play in the first place. Please don't hijack potentially unrelated issues!

[DrMcCoy]

Sorry, I thought it would be related because it's both about the WDR scraper. I even explictly chose to post here instead of opening a new issue because of that. :/

You're right though, it doesn't play in my browser either. So I'm just going to shut up now. Sorry again. :)

All links mentioned in this ticket is dead, and the following Rockpalast video works fine with the latest git master: http://www1.wdr.de/mediathek/video/sendungen/rockpalast/video-rockpalast-blind-guardian---rock-hard-festival--100.html. Closing.
