Unsupported/Broken site - RTVE.es?

[jjarava]

Hi!

I've just updated to the latest version (2015.01.30.2) and I've tried to download a video from RTVE.es.

The video plays properly in the browser, but if I try to get it via youtube-dl, I get an error about "Unsupported URL".

The full --verbose output is;

@Cyttorak Probably the same as #5011. For future reports, please open a new issue, it makes easier to track them.

Is this an issue with the site or program not able to grab video as I managed to downlaod videos that once didn't download but most I'm not able to trying many times to re-start without success as I'm using the latest version of video download capture.
