Support direct download

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Hi,

Once again i propose one fonctionnality.
Being able to provide direct link to media when the website isn't compatible.

by example
http://www.rigolus.com/les-videos/videos/2044_la_nouvelle_version_de_la_machine_
la_plus_inutile_au_monde.mp4

i know i can use wget to download it but if i can use only one tool...

thx

Somebody already proposed this (I guess directly by email, I don't find it in 
the issues), but the Youtube API does not allow it, the only way to upload a 
video is POSTing it, no way to say "take the video from this URL".

Note: I appreciate your proposals, but I hardly use the script anymore so the 
project is in maintenance/contributed_patches-only mode.
