Videolectures.net

[DjalelBBZ]

Hi,

Do you plan to support videolectures.net ?
Thanks for the great work!

Cheers,

[phihag]

Thank you for the report (In the future, to make it even more helpful, you can include an example video URL). youtube-dl v2014.03.21.5 now supports videolectures.net . Type youtube-dl -U to update.

Thanks for (ultra) quick reply. Here are two links with which it doesn't work however.

See, that's why we want example URLs - your URLs refer to two videos which seem to use different distribution schemes. We'll have a look.

Closed by 0d93378. This should be fixed in youtube-dl versions 2015.02.17.2 and newer. Refer to our FAQ if you need help updating.
