Apparently they changed it again.

@dstftw could you please elaborate why this issue was silently closed again? Should I open the new issue instead? Following command still gives error:

youtube-dl --verbose http://vk.com/video-22781583_456239892

Same result when using Python with youtube-dl binary.

Works in Chrome, is pretty slow, but this could be my connection at the moment.

There are some commits fixing VK-related problems on master: https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commits/master. Seems dstftw forgot to add issue numbers to commit messages so this issue is not referenced. The fix will be included in the next release. If you're in urge, clone this repository and see https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#developer-instructions for how to run it.

Here's an example log of the current master:
