Description

All gfycat urls with a /ru/ in the path fail to download. The current valid url regex, mistakes the /ru/ as the video idea. Below are some example urls that do not work.

• https://gfycat.com/ru/remarkabledrearyamurstarfish
• https://gfycat.com/ru/cheapmediocreiggypops

[Hrxn]

Removing the /ru/ part from the URL should also work, as far as I know...

@Hrxn you are correct, that does work. I've deployed that fix when I use youtube_dl in my application. It would be good if it was natively supported.
