Feature request: support Syfy videos of the form http://www.syfy.com/wilwheaton

Looks like the id is available in the source:

<iframe frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="688" height="387" class="video_iframe_page" src="/_utils/video/thP_video_controller.php?sect=wilwheaton&/video/medium/autoplay/_vid2771787"></iframe>

(the id is 2771787, which works fine if I make this fake URL:
http://www.syfy.com/videos/Blastr/Blastr%20TV/vid:2771787)

That URL works with this change:

diff --git a/youtube_dl/extractor/theplatform.py b/youtube_dl/extractor/theplatform.py
index 91f2453..2d69513 100644
