I got the same error yesterday and I can download it today. Maybe it's a temporary server issue in youtube. Can you download it now?

[hadess]

Yes, although it's much less interesting now as I was hoping to use youtube-dl to stream it to my media player. Thanks for the review though.

You can use -o - to stream to media players via pipes. For example:

youtube-dl -o - "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6beCycCN_Ao" | vlc -

Note: vlc is my daily-use player. Arguments can be different for other players.

I meant streaming the live video. It's finished now, and ended up watching it in a web browser :/
