podomatic support is partially broken

[GijsTimmers]

I tried to download a track from the channel ostbahnhof.podomatic.com, but youtube-dl fails to do so:

This is strange, as podomatic support does seem to work with one of the more popular podcasts, for instance martinlodge.podomatic.com:

A fix for this problem would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks for the report, fixed. This will be available in the next version of youtube-dl.

Thank you.

The fix has been integrated into youtube-dl 2014.04.19 and newer. It looks like you have installed youtube-dl with a package manager or pip, so use that to update.
