[spiegel] Some URLs aren't extracted properly anymore

[eliasp]

The URL following URL:
http://www.spiegel.de/video/neu-im-kino-mit-exodus-honig-im-kopf-und-entdeckung-der-unendlichkeit-video-1543886.html
should return the URL:
http://video2.spiegel.de/flash/68/83/1543886_1024x576_H264_HQ.mp4
but returns instead:
http://video2.spiegel.de/flash/68/83/1543886_1920x1080_HD.mp4

The document source contains this JS variables which contains some of the information required to stitch the correct URL together:

                var credit                      = "SPIEGEL ONLINE";
                var displaycat          = "5";
                var videocat            = "44";
                var trackingsize        = "gross";
                var startmod            = "true";
                var server                      = "http://video2.spiegel.de/flash/68/83/";
                var embedWidth          = 640;
                var embedHeight         = 360;

The call to the spStartVideo5() function contains the remaining stuff:

spStartVideo5(1543886, '1543886_1024x576_H264_HQ.mp4', 'oldVideo3', poster, prerollGateway, postrollGateway, 1, credit, displaycat, videocat, server, trackingsize, startmod, 'onAdStart', 'onAdEnd', 'onVideoEnd', 'onFinalEnd', embedWidth, embedHeight);

You're simply citing format 19, while youtube-dl picks format 26. The question is why that format is mentioned in Spiegel's index file, but not actually available.

This issue will be fixed in the next version. Thanks for the report.
