Site request: REN.TV

Hello author !
What a great YOUTUBE-DL proggie, I appreciate you for this one !

Now I want to ask you to add extractor for REN.TV russian TV channel, it has many interesting documentary movies that many people would like to have on local HDD.

Example url is: http://ren.tv/novosti/2015-09-25/sluchaynyy-prohozhiy-poymal-avtougonshchika-v-murmanske-video

The youtube-dl -v log is pasted here: http://fpaste.org/292969/48057944/

Thanks in advance !!!

ps. If this is ffmpeg bug/unsupported ft, then tell me so, PLEASE:)

Thanks for the report. This video will be supported in the next version.

btw, I hope that not only this video will be supported, but all the videos from ren.tv site?:)

If you mean only one video, let me paste more different urls so you can make more testings:
http://ren.tv/video/epizod/60486
http://ren.tv/video/epizod/6662
http://ren.tv/video/epizod/7486
-- these are from different sub-projects on the site, please, make sure all 4 videos I listed here and earlier will be downloadable:)

Thank you!

All of the URLs listed above can be downloaded since 750b9ff. Feel free to open a new issue if there are still unsupported REN.tv videos when the next version is released.

@nmr50 there is no video on this page.

Aha, I got another url: http://ren.tv/video/epizod/5620
Looks like youtube-dl works OK but I have one question:
C:\temp>youtube-dl.exe --list-formats "http://ren.tv/video/epizod/5620"
[generic] 5620: Requesting header
WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.

Can I get full listing of what quality options are listed there or this message does mean that only one quality is available ?
