Trying to fetch episodes from Disney XD works just fine; passing http://watchdisneyxd.go.com/star-vs-the-forces-of-evil results in identifying the individual episodes, and correctly identifies series, season, and episode.

But trying to fetch from Disney Channel fails.

Giving a specific episode does not retrieve series, season, or episode number

It's even better.

The URL I used there:
http://video.disney.com/watch/disneychannel-what-the-hair-54c786cedea9193243001d54

But there's another address for disney channel:
http://watchdisneychannel.go.com/tangled-the-series/video/vdka3750184/

That one works.

... So some things have three locations, three different sets of available videos, three different sets of information extractors, ...

We're dealing with two separate extractors here: Disney and Go.

Making the following changes starting on Line 150 of disney.py may help:

        return {
            'id': video_id,
            'title': title,
            'description': video_data.get('description') or video_data.get('short_desc'),
            'thumbnail': video_data.get('thumb') or video_data.get('thumb_secure'),
            'duration': int_or_none(video_data.get('duration_sec')),
            'upload_date': unified_strdate(video_data.get('publish_date')),
            'formats': formats,
            'subtitles': subtitles,
            'season_number': int_or_none(video_data.get('externals', {})[0]['data'].get('Season')),
            'episode_number': int_or_none(video_data.get('externals', {})[0]['data'].get('Episode')),
            'series': video_data.get('ptitle'),
            'episode': title
        }

Got it, adding 4 new fields. Also, "episode" is not necessarily the same as "title"? ... hmm, something to experiment with.

Yep. Works.

Ok, now, how do I send commit 40915c103bb4824bb5f4cf07586d24e4c5ca9964 to you as a pull request? (This is more of a "using git for group development" question).

[gkoelln]

Episode is usually the same as title, but some titles are something like "Tangled - The Series - What the Hair" as opposed to just "What the Hair!?," depending on the extractor. It's a field that I use when necessary for that reason.

Since I cannot access videos in question, can you check if a bit more defensive change in #13384 works?

[mpenkov]

@keybounce Just following up on this ticket. Were you able to check if #13384 solves the problem for you? If yes, then we can close this ticket.
