The documentation page lists "The Daily Show / Colbert Nation" as supported sites but I get an error.

Example:

[tj@fedora Videos]$ youtube-dl -t "http://www.thedailyshow.com/watch/mon-october-1-2012/exclusive---arnold-schwarzenegger-extended-interview-pt--1"

From what I can tell from the regex used, only the videos from the Full Episodes page are supported.

Trying to get a video from that URL seems to work at first, but then it switches to RTMPDump which throws an error:

Not sure if that's an issue with youtube-dl or with rtmpdump, but I would guess that Comedy Central upgraded their player to a version of RTMP that isn't supported anymore.

Fixed.
