Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Site changed in some ways. I narrowed it down to changing r'sources\s*:\s*({.+?}),' to r'\"sources\"\s*:\s*({.+?}),', changing Runtime: to Runtime and Views: to Views.

@paulguy So you got it working again? Great!
All you need to do now is make a pull request for your fixes.

[paulguy]

Last time I made a pull request to this project, I was presented with the usual programmer's rudeness so they can just put the fixes in themselves, or don't.

[ThomasChr]

@paulguy I know exactly what you mean and I'm sorry for that! I'll try a PR tomorrow with your changes, let's see what happens.

@paulguy I had no problems downloading from this page. Could you please provide me with a testlink?

[paulguy]

Downloading http://www.xtube.com/video-watch/bbc-breeding-white-bottom-30051611 with curl with the cookies mentioned in the extractor still shows the sources: string changed to "sources": on line 214, although I would have to revert back my fixes to test if it actually does fail to extract information. "Views" and "Runtime" still appear to be missing their colons.
