youtube-viewer uses a method of fetching YouTube videos that does not execute Google's proprietary JavaScript in the background the way youtube-dl does. Unfortunately, some videos, like music videos, will not play without proprietary software. And sometimes, it changes over time. One day, you can download it without JS, and you can't the next. This is why I now archive ALL videos people send me. I should probably start tagging them so they're easy to search...
