Description

It seems that currently you can't download video from local manifest.mpd file.

For example I have locally this manifest.mpd file with content:

It contains video for low and high quality and also audio. So I want to download highest quality and merge it with audio.
Basically youtube-dl ./manifest.mpd (or something like youtube-dl file://./manifest.mpd)

Current workaround seems to be just host that file with python -m http.server 8000 and then use youtube-dl http://127.0.0.1:8000/manifest.mpd which while seems to work isn't that nice.
