Description of the issue, suggested solution and other information

xvideos.com has now started offering videos in higher resolutions (actually, multiple resolutions) via HLS. Currently, youtube-dl is only downloading, via the URLs taken by the regexp, things via straight HTTP.

See, for example, the following video: http://www.xvideos.com/video22833069/anal_queen_from_brazil

The relevant HTML snippet is the following (yes, the indenting is messy):

            <script>logged_user = false;
    var html5player = new HTML5Player('html5video', '22833069');
    html5player.setVideoTitle('Anal Queen From Brazil');
    html5player.setSponsors(false);
    html5player.setVideoUrlLow('http://content.xvideos.com/videos/3gp/c/9/9/xvideos.com_c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c.mp4?e=1471362685&ri=1024&rs=85&h=0bcedcdb9793f7e4eacc07f95cd14704');
    html5player.setVideoUrlHigh('http://content.xvideos.com/videos/mp4/c/9/9/xvideos.com_c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c.mp4?e=1471362685&ri=1024&rs=85&h=09235234476a4665c9d89adf40ff80a2');
    html5player.setVideoHLS('http://cdn3-l3-cdn.xvideos.com/32e75581661733b3df6b1d863cd669e602458cf3-1471362685/videos/hls/c9/94/67/c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c/hls.m3u8');
    html5player.setThumbUrl('http://img-l3.xvideos.com/videos/thumbslll/c9/94/67/c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c/c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c.30.jpg');
    html5player.setRelated(video_related);
    html5player.setThumbSlide('http://img-l3.xvideos.com/videos/thumbs/c9/94/67/c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c/mozaique.jpg');
    html5player.setIdCDN('2');
    html5player.setIdCdnHLS('3');
    html5player.setFakePlayer(false);
    html5player.setDesktopiew(true);
    html5player.setVideoURL('/video22833069/anal_queen_from_brazil');
    html5player.initPlayer();
    </script>

If I manually grab the HLS URL and use ffmpeg with something like (the hashes may, of course, change due to timestamps being embedded in the URLs):

ffmpeg -i http://cdn3-l3-cdn.xvideos.com/c0fcdbe93306559fd86db1dd941faf2376020507-1471361420/videos/hls/c9/94/67/c994677a47070a513b047354f1fb7b1c/hls.m3u8 -c copy -bsf:a aac_adtstoasc -map 0:2 -map 0:3 out.mkv

I determined the substreams/programs in the HLS, manually. It would be nice to have the option of downloading higher quality files via ffmpeg than with pure HTTP. The difference in resolution is huge.

Thanks,

Rogério Brito.

P.S.: I believe that the amount of information that I provided is enough for understanding the problem. If not, please don't hesitate to ask for more details.

Thanks! I will upload this to Debian tomorrow (or by this weekend).

(I'm the package maintainer downstream).
