This is the first time I have seen this in youtube-dl. Just wondering why it happens.

1. You are using an outdated version of youtube-dl. Read our FAQ if you have troubles updating.
2. Segmented DASH videos appear first then non segmented sources.

Ahh hmm the Arch package is back from January. Thanks.

This is the first time I had seen a segmented DASH video. I had only seen the full sources before.
