rts.ch changed their URL

[patrick-ausderau]

Hi,
The rts.ch did launch a new player and thus changed the structure of their pages. Would it be possible to update the youtube-dl accordingly? Thanks!

Seems that as of today all their new videos start with URL http://www.rts.ch/play/tv/ And older video still with the old style URL get redirected with this new scheme (not 100% sure).

New rts URL format will be supported in the next release of youtube-dl. Thanks for the report.
