NBC Nightly News

Hello,

The supported sites page lists "NBCNews", however I am unable to download the NBC Nightly News, for example:

$ youtube-dl --version
2015.02.04
$ youtube-dl http://www.nbcnews.com/nightly-news/video/nightly-news-with-brian-williams-full-broadcast-february-4-394064451844

NBC has decided to discontinue publishing their NBC Nighty News video podcast, so I am trying to use youtube-dl to build a new personal viewing solution for this content. Thanks for your help.

I think that it's a problem with the _VALID_URL regex in NBCNewsIE:

_VALID_URL = r'''(?x)https?://www\.nbcnews\.com/
        ((video/.+?/(?P<id>\d+))|
        (feature/[^/]+/(?P<title>.+)))
        '''

NBC nightly news will be supported in the next version, thanks for the report.
