Hints:
Do **not** download the above spam links, they are malware
> Do not download these spam links, they are malware

The respond was too quick, so I didn't downloaded them. Thx :-)
Maybe some more information:
The video has many advertising at the begin and in the middle of the video.
> The video is protected by DRM

Then it won't be downloadable anyways. Does downloading non-DRM videos from this site still work?

After some researche, the video is actually NOT protected by DRM. So the error must be from something else. I tried 2 other videos, I got the same error: "ERROR: [GoPlay] Unable to extract video_data"...
