Brightcove empty playlist #6015

Can you watch this video in browsers? I got neither videos nor error messages in Chrome. |

The link works for me in a browser, but I get the same YouTube-DL error... I posted (what I believe is) a similar issue here: #5955 |
|
Yes I can see the video in #5955. I've investigated it while I didn't find a solution. I'm not sure whether the two videos have the same problem in youtube-dl or not, either. |
