Thank you for the report. The reported issue should be fixed in the next release of youtube-dl, however, the provided link still will not work, as it contains only a slideshow and youtube-dl currently only supports downloads of video presentations (not slides).

I've hit the same issue and the stack trace in youtube-dl 2016.11.22 asked me to submit a bug -- could the error message warn that only slideshare videos but not the slideshows are supported, please? This could help with reducing duplicate bug reports...

yes, only videos are supported. There's a proposal to add static image support (#9337) but no conclusion yet
