--- Comment #25 from Paul Wise <pabs3 at bonedaddy.net> ---
I have a different file, but if I re-download it with youtube-dl 2018.06.18-1.1
I get the same file:

$ md5sum Zendegi-9827433.mp4
06118309ee9748bc1ab1bc38d8ef39db  Zendegi-9827433.mp4

However, when I use youtube-dl 2018.06.18-1.1 without my set of arguments I get
your file and playing that works:

$ youtube-dl https://vimeo.com/9827433

If I pass the extra arguments I mentioned above to youtube-dl then I get a file
that works in vlc/ffplay but not in gst-play:

$ youtube-dl --hls-prefer-native --prefer-ffmpeg --format best
