Hi everyone,

first of all thanks for youtube-dl/this project, it helped me many times in the past :)

This is a request to support the new mtv video portal www.mtvplay.tv

I tried to wrap my head around the extractors and how youtube-dl works but it seems in this case I am stuck.

From what I've understood with my limited python knowledge it seems that the method for getting the URL for the media file(s) is quite similar as already present in the mtv.py extractor. I tried to debug this.

For Example 1:

1. You can request the page of the episode/video with any of the following URLs, they all point to the same video/episode:
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/1118-mike+judge's+beavis+and+butt-head/
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/1118/1/1
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/1118-mike+judge's+beavis+and+butt-head/1/1-werewolves+of+highland/crying
   (note that the last "/" in the last URL is part of the episode name)
2. During loading a request will be made to the following URL
   http://api.mtvnn.com/v2/mrss.xml?uri=mgid:sensei:video:mtvnn.com:local_playlist-2715cd5ddab5799ba981&siteKey=mtvplay.DE
   (so quite similar to the current mtv extractor)
   "&siteKey=mtvplay.DE" is possibly region-specific, but the request also works without it
3. Which contains the following URL
   http://videos.mtvnn.com/mediagen/12e62c6cd6873703db4b91854512dae9
   Requesting this one will give a list of the rtmp URLs to the videos

I am stuck on the very first step to get the original webpage/source to somehow parse this info from it unfortunately.

When downloading source URL
http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/1118-mike+judge's+beavis+and+butt-head/1/1-werewolves+of+highland/crying

the resulting HTML document doesn't have any infos about the video or content, only very general styling information etc. Seems this URL has something to do with it?
http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/308-game+one/13/build.js

Example 2:

1. Source page (again, all URLs point to the same page)
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/308-game+one
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/308-game+one/1/1
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/308/1/1-folge+1
2. http://api.mtvnn.com/v2/mrss.xml?uri=mgid:sensei:video:mtvnn.com:local_playlist-1c3e61fec5312c9eb3f4&siteKey=mtvplay.DE
3. http://videos.mtvnn.com/mediagen/ea4ab782f026b77e172fe72b5eefce67

Example 3:

1. Source
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/308/13/6
   http://www.mtvplay.tv/shows/308-game+one/13/6-game-one-shows-season_13-episode_6
2. http://api.mtvnn.com/v2/mrss.xml?uri=mgid:sensei:video:mtvnn.com:local_playlist-a6bf8190797e0e0b5c35&siteKey=mtvplay.DE
3. http://videos.mtvnn.com/mediagen/bb1a436f52cab67576ffbeee67f9c228

I hope that helps and the site can be supported in the future. Thanks, have a nice day guys
