for example,the URL http://www.bilibili.com/video/av9291699
there are 4 videos in it.but if I use the command youtube-dl -F http://www.bilibili.com/video/av9595179

I can only see the information about the first video:

[BiliBili] 9595179: Downloading webpage
[BiliBili] 9595179: Downloading video info page
[info] Available formats for 9595179:
format code  extension  resolution note
0            mp4        unknown
1            mp4        unknown    369.28MiB (best)

Only if I execute youtube-dl -F http://www.bilibili.com/video/av9595179/index_1.html to youtube-dl -F http://www.bilibili.com/video/av9595179/index_4.html can I download all the 4 videos correctly.Can you fix it?or tell me the way to parse how many videoes in an ID.

I think we may need a playlist extractor. If you're interested, the videos are listed inside the div with id=plist, even if the page only contains a single video. You can add this playlist extractor fairly easily by looking at some examples like the one in nba.py. But one problem like I said is that there is no way to differentiate a single video and a playlist then. I need to modify the _real_extract to add a recursion depth limit to avoid infinite recursion call. I don't know if this is desired. So the simple solution would still be to only download the video you're currently visiting.

Here is my example change. I am not gonna make a pull request because I am not sure if this feature is desired. But if you are interested you can pull the code and have a try.

@cqnkxy That looks good, just with quite a few coding-style issues. Feel free to open an pull request if you want it supported in mainline youtube-dl.

@yan12125 Thanks! Actually I've had a editor plugin checked the style already, but still... I'll open a pull request and look forward to your comments! Please tell me when it looks good enough and I'll rebase the previous commits into one. Thanks again!
