Feature Request: Allow video_url to be from v.redd.it

[bcornw2]

Right now this only works with the full reddit permalink: https://reddit.com/r/subreddit/post-title-goes here

It would be useful to be able to use this with the "https://v.redd.it" URL, for example: https://v.redd.it/c8oic7ppc2751

I've got it working with the following workaround:

submissions = reddit.user.me().submissions.new(limit=None)
  for submission in submissions:
    if "v.redd" in submission.url:
      video_url = "https://reddit.com" + submission.permalink   #permalink comes in "/r/subreddit/post-title" format, so this string combination creates the requisite URL
     redvid.Download(video_url)

Added this feature too :)

...
        # Allow v.redd.it url formats
        if 'v.redd.it' in self.url:
            self.url = self.get(self.url, _proxies=self.proxies).url
        
        self.page = se...
...

I am cleaning my code now and will upload the new version ASAP
