Please add support for downloading smotri.com videos from rbc.ru urls:
http://rbctv.rbc.ru/archive/news/562949990879132.shtml

$ youtube-dl http://rbctv.rbc.ru/archive/news/562949990879132.shtml

This page has 2 urls for video, one for html5 players:
http://smotri.com/video/download/file/-/tB1VDVmVuVDB0Va84VCVuV08p848Y8t8z8r8YBpVrB0Bv8zVv8YBEBY6CV18E8/1b63882b82518f85601f65961a8e.mp4
and one for downloading "Скачать видео"
http://videoarchive.rbc.ru/archive/2014/03/18/news1600.wmv
mp4 files from smotri.com have much better quality, so dowloading wmv files seems pointless.

Thanks for the report, supported for embedded smotri.com videos has just been added. This will be available in the next release of youtube-dl.
