Vice (Ooyala) not working with generic extractor

[zacs]

Looking back at old commits, looks like the Vice functionality was removed from its own IE and added to the Ooyala one. I may be wrong about that. Verbose output:

It's probably super obvious to those of you who work on it, but looks like Ooyala doesn't necessarily include embedCode or ec in their embeds at times, and thus it fails the check in generic.py? This is what's currently in the Vice page's source:

Vice extractor has been re-added, so it should work with youtube-dl 2014.11.09 and newer. Please update and try, if it works for you (see our FAQ if you have problems updating).

Please note, however, that the URL you had problem's with no longer exists or the URL scheme on Vice.com has changed a bit - I've found it to now be: http://www.vice.com/video/the-real-true-detective-010.

I am closing this now, comment here if the problem still persists after updating and I'll reopen it, or open a new issue.
