Foxsports downloader does not support different link formats

[MaryCoding]

Hi, Please take a look at my inital issue here. dstfw did a great job to initialize the foxsport downloader. There are some issues. Below are different format for foxsport links that are not supported for the foxsport downloader. The extractor seems to only handle links with the format http://www.foxsports.com/video?vid=432609859715. Most importantly could have download directly from the foxsports platform link. Currently it gives error:

ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

• http://link.theplatform.com/s/BKQ29B/z2QQOI_emPdP/file.mp4?mbr=true&switch=http&feed=Fox%20Sports%20All%20-%20Mobile&metafile=false

Other common foxsport links:

• http://www.foxsports.com/mlb/video?vid=438792259745

Last two urls use different platform that is not supported currently.

@dstftw oh ok. Also, I see several foxsports video links hosted by Theplatform but currently youtube-dl cant download those videos. It gives error. Example: http://link.theplatform.com/s/BKQ29B/IXxaInYXY02p/file.mp4?mbr=true&switch=http&feed=Fox%20Sports%20All%20-%20Mobile&metafile=false How come?

You have to pass original foxsports links to youtube-dl, not theplatform
ones.

@dstftw Sorry, not my goal to bother. But for example http://www.foxsports.com/nascar/video?vid=442748483521 belongs to http://link.theplatform.com/s/BKQ29B/IXxaInYXY02p/file.mp4?mbr=true&switch=http&feed=Fox%20Sports%20All%20-%20Mobile&metafile=false. I understand the foxsports platform only takes foxsports links. Why cant this platform link format be implemented to the platform extractor?
