youtube-dl is returning format links that are not working properly for YouTube video #6004

Do you test final download URLs from the same machine/IP? Can you download with youtube-dl itself? |

Hi,
I using youtube-dl as a library in my own Python code (instead of standalone application) and I've issue with particular YouTube link:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFk0PpG1EA
For some reason I am getting video formats links (using the extractor.extract_info('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WOFk0PpG1EA') method) but they're not usable: when they're being pasted into browser, the page is not rendering any player and is just blank white.
What could be the issue and how to detect it from the youtube-dl level?
