Well, I'm not vision-impaired, but nevertheless I tried "youtube-dl -U" and
downloading a video using youtube-dl now, and it worked perfectly well, and
the video played fine - audio and pictures in VLC:

shlomif at telaviv1:~$ youtube-dl -U
youtube-dl is up-to-date (2016.04.24)
shlomif at telaviv1:~$ youtube-dl -f 43 -l

I agree that knowing a specific problematic video is a good idea.
