Description

For some reason, youtube-dl is throwing an HTTP Error 500 for a few videos such as the following:

This happens ONLY when the "-f" argument is used along with the itag value of the format that I want to download. For instance, this will throw HTTP Error 500:

If I use "-f bestvideo", then it works fine. Any idea what the issue is?
