Please post the entire output you get when you run youtube-dl with the -v option on this video. Without that output we cannot diagnose what is wrong.

Works for you?

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read our FAQ if you have troubles updating.

[JohnRobson]

2015.11.10 is outdated?!

Do you tested if this video is working?!

Try by yourself and tell me if you can download this video.

[phihag]

YouTube changed their interface on November 24th. Therefore, you need at least youtube-dl v2015.11.25, preferable the latest, which as of writing is 2015.11.27.1. Using that version, youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L53gjP-TtGE works fine for me.

Ok, thank you very much for your support!
