Infinite regression.

[shrinidhi111]

I tried downloading a video from Channel9 (MS channel) and it seems the application enters an infinite loop where it keeps "trying" to get the video.

It won't give an error or anything.. It keeps shuffling between downloading the RSS and playlist but downloads neither of them.

Here's the link for the video I was trying to download : Channel9 video

Verbose log.

I always download with verbose ON (I like it that way)
