Doesn't look like it's able to find the video on this page - http://www.c-span.org/video/?c4578575/clinton-voter-fraud-polk-county-iowa-caucus

Not sure how well C-Span downloading works in general as I've not tried before, but I saw a closed but mentioning that it should work.

This bug report is missing required information, namely the complete output of youtube-dl when called with -v. Please make sure to consult our bug reporting guidelines. Without the required information, we cannot help you. For what it's worth, downloading the URL you mention works fine for me.

Whoops, knew I forgot something. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to contain anything of any use that I can see.

You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. See our FAQ on how to update.

I'm using the version available within Arch Linux. I guess they need to be prodded to update. Thanks.
