youtube-dl cannot bypass geo restrictions. Can you play the video in your browser ?

[wdfsinap]

I can't play the video in my browser. but i can play it with http://playit.pk/watch?v=DDWKuo3gXMQ
do you have any idea of how they did this?

[anisse]

playit.pk is a proxy. It seems it even provides a right click -> save video as (in Firefox).

If it's ok for you, could you close the issue?

[wdfsinap]

sorry, but i want to know how to proxy such geo restricted videos.

Use --proxy.
