WIMP - Unknown Video

[RingoTheDog]

Some WIMP videos play on WIMP.COM but when you try to use YouTube-DL you receive an HTML, "unknown video" redirection (the ones I cam across pointed to YouTube, but here could be others.)

examples URLS:

http://www.wimp.com/clowncar/

Not sure how common this is....
Thanks as always

In the next version the Youtube videos will be dowloaded correctly. If wimp.com embeds videos from other sites, feel free to open a new issue.
Thanks for the report.
