Can you watch this video in browsers? I got the following error: (I'm outside Mainland China)

对不起，由于版权原因，
该视频暂时不能播放。

Which means: Sorry, this video is temporarily unavailable due to licensing reasons.

A side note: according to the 4th item in this FAQ (in Chinese), such an error indicates the video is unavailable in Mainland China, too.

When I posed the report, I was able to watch it with Firefox under Linux from Malaysia. They probably discovered the loop hole (which happened during the Tudou and Youku merger?) and remove the video or disable it. Anyway a big thanks to your wonderful software. I am extremely grateful.

OK. I'm closing this issue as it's not youtube-dl's problem. Feel free to open a new issue if you have other problems.
