Still have a problem with Bloomberg.com

[bonacker]

My Bloomberg.com issue #7685 was closed after an edit to youtube_dl/extractor/bloomberg.py however this doesn't seem to have fixed the problem.

This is the link to the video I wanted. It gives an " Unsupported URL" in youtube-dl:

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/videos/2015-11-25/with-all-due-respect-11-25-15-

If I change the URL as per the change in youtube_dl/extractor/bloomberg.py (adding "news" after the domain) to

http://www.bloomberg.com/news/politics/videos/2015-11-25/with-all-due-respect-11-25-15-

It now does download a video but not the one requested. It downloads a different video from the same page where I found the link to the video I wanted. The main page with many video links is http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/

Further testing shows that whatever is put after "videos," even non-existent files, the same video is always downloaded.

A new version haven't been released yet, the first URL (http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/videos/2015-11-25/with-all-due-respect-11-25-15-) works with the code from the git repo. You'll have to wait for the next version or run from source.

About the rest of URLs: they redirect to http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/, so it extracts the first video from there (I don't know if we should do anything special).

With a new Win32 version, 2015.12.5.0, released, I can report that Bloomberg.com videos download perfectly. Thanks!
