clipsyndicate.com extraction fails

[flakzilla]

Although youtube-dl added support for clipsyndicate.com in release 2013.11.29 (#1744) it seems to be not working now.

UnsupportedError: Unsupported URL: http://chic.clipsyndicate.com/video/play/5855946/shark_falls_from_sky

Here is the -v output for a sample video, I tested a few of them and they all failed in the same way.
