It would be preferable when youtube-dl would somehow indicate if it did effectively no extraction because it was handed a direct URL. I suggest adding something like:
to the direct link return statement in generic.py
Background: Since we read stuff like the title from youtube-dl's output, it is important to know when we should better ignore the data from youtube-dl, because the player may be able to extract all relevant info from the file itself (example: title from an mkv file) instead of overriding it with youtube-dl's info.
