i dont get it why its different... strange ... something must have changed....

Thanks for the report. This issue should be fixed in the next release of youtube-dl.

Indeed, this is the second time videomega has changed in the short while, not sure why.

@Kaligule, the output you get is different because you are running an older version of youtube-dl (the videomega extractor has been updated recently).
