Worked like a charm.

@rrooij Doesn't seem to work anymore. The video is now a Vessel embed.

[antdude]

Trox1972: Just click on its Vessel watermark to go to its server like https://www.vessel.com/videos/VgLyMhhIk ... It will work.

[TRox1972]

Thanks @antdude. Guess we should add/extend support for Vessel embeds.

[antdude]

Trox1972: Uh, but youtube-dl can download already?

[TRox1972]

@antdude youtube-dl works fine for downloading Vessel-videos from vessel.com. Adding support for Vessel embeds would mean that youtube-dl would detect Vessel videos on e.g. channelawesome.com and then download them.

[antdude]

@TRox1972 Ah OK and thanks. :D
