They have some really nice content and it would be awesome to be able to download it using youtube-dl. Thanks.

youtube-dl already supports phoenix.de links, but not in such form. Links like the one you've provided should be supported in the next version of youtube-dl. Thank you for the report!

Wouldn't it have been better to close this ticket with the next release, then? I used the most up-to-date version.

I see your point. We usually post a follow-up comment on closed issues after the new version is released.
