Just to be clear and complete, I have the latest version of youtube-dl installed: 2017.09.02

Works on my machine with mpv-git, but then again, I'm using youtube-dl-2017.07.23. It's probably a youtube-dl issue.

Duplicate of #4728. See #4728 (comment) for a workaround.

Hi Ricardo, I understand that I can apply the workaround referenced above, but shouldn't this be fixed without any workaround being applied? From the thread you reference it appears that this has been fixed but with the version of youtube-dl 2017.09.02 and the latest version of mpv available from brew it still isn't. Is the problem on the mpv or on the youtube-dl side? Is a release of mpv fixing this coming out soon?

The linked comment has the answers to all those questions.
Only @lachs0r knows when's the next release.

mpv 0.26.0 does not contain the fix, when you say very latest, make sure it's actually git HEAD.

I’ve tried mpv HEAD yesterday (installed via homebrew) and it still wasn’t fixed.

Apparently vimeo's CDNs don't like relative URLs.
This doesn't work:
https://skyfire.vimeocdn.com/1504434122-0x16c82c8e17c8e66565df5cdf8dd383866e4b297f/150608819/sep/video/606502191,606502196,606502193,606502192/../../audio/606502196/chop/segment-0.mp4
but this does:

Ok. But how to fix it? There might be other websites affected too. 2 weeks ago this was working perfectly.

I'm referring to the error in #4827 (comment).
I've answered your issue when I closed this. It's still the same solution. If you can't build git master yourself, use the workarounds listed in #4728 (comment).

@wiiaboo Again, I tried mpv from master (brew install --HEAD mpv). I’ve also tried your other solution. It still isn’t fixed.

While all vimeo videos can be downloaded with youtube-dl, only some can be played with mpv.

Video that works: https://vimeo.com/130975566
Video that doesn’t: https://vimeo.com/230282582

@vitorgalvao it's a related but different issue. Should be fixed with d280b3d.
