Request: TheCinemaSnob.com extractor for ScreenwaveMedia embeds

[ssokolow]

Given that there's an extractor for Cinemassacre (precedent) and that TheCinemaSnob.com appears to have switched to Screenwave Media embeds in response to YouTube "holding the Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge episode hostage", it'd probably be a good idea to add a TheCinemaSnob.com extractor to remove the need for users to poke around in the page source to find the specific ScreenwaveMedia URL that youtube-dl knows how to handle.

Post an example URL.

Whoops. Sorry about that. I wrote an example but, for some reason (can't remember), I used the mouse rather than Ctrl+A Ctrl+C to copy-paste into the browser (I don't trust my browser to keep longer posts safe.) and missed half of it without noticing.

I've already closed the copy of notepad I was using but the remaining half looked something like this:

For example, if I load this URL, it uses Screenwave Media's self-hosted player embed and Screenwave provides no YouTube-like "view this directly on our site" button:

http://www.thecinemasnob.com/the-cinema-snob/a-nightmare-on-elm-street-2-freddys-revenge1

As such, I have to dig through the HTML until I find this URL and then feed that into youtube-dl:

http://player2.screenwavemedia.com/player.php?id=cinemasnob-55d26273809dd

...or, if you don't want to add a specific TheCinemaSnob.com extractor, perhaps it might make sense to extend the "generic" extractor to look for URLs like that so it can Just Work™ in a wider range of circumstances.

Will be fixed in the next version.
