Bloomberg download no longer works

Bloomberg seems to have changed their format as they no longer provide the "twitter:video" meta for videos. It might be more reliable to detect the source tags instead of reading the meta tags.

Should be fixed with 524c2c7, you'll have to wait for the next release.
Thanks for the report.
