Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Seems like Vbox7.com switched to mpd playlist, instead of direct files. Youtube-dl is able to grab the mpd, but this file is useless as it's playlist. Needs rework to get the filenames from mpd (MPD file Generated with GPAC version 0.7.1-revrelease)

New files are split - set1_init, dash_track1 (video) & dash_track2 (audio). They will need proper merge.
