Added a helper method to InfoExtractor for searching the ‘twitter:player’ meta property.
Now the OoyalaIE also recognizes the ‘ec’ parameter in the url as the embed code.
We could also set up a formula which would weigh filesize/bitrate and vcodec/acodec (say, 1GB h264 < 3 GB MPEG2 < 2 GB h264), but that would get really messy real soon.
_search_regex calls the sys.stderr.isatty() function for unix systems.
Py2exe uses a custom Stderr() stream which doesn't have an `isatty()`
function, leading to it's crash.
Fixes easily with checking that it's a unix system first.
This is the first step towards being able to just import youtube_dl and start using it.
Apart from removing global state, this would fix problems like #1805.
* Do not accept '>' between the property and content attributes.
* Recognize the properties if the content attribute is before the property attribute using two regexes (fixes the extraction of the description for SlideshareIE).
On tvp.pl some webpages contain OpenGraph
metadata and some don't.
If og property is not found, _og_search_description
fails with
WARNING: unable to extract OpenGraph description; please report this issue on http://yt-dl.org/bug

The patch allows me to use:
try:
info['description'] = self._og_search_description(webpage)
info['thumbnail'] = self._og_search_thumbnail(webpage)
except RegexNotFoundError:
pass
