Be on the lookout, it might be modified in pull requests. When I come back from my vacation (in three days from now), I'll start looking whether we really need the compat binary.
[firedrive] fix broken extractor
[vimeo] Ignore video 'base' thumbnail (Closes #3438)
Some videos that are freely accessible without password via the original URL (e.g. http://vimeo.com/channels/keypeele/75629013) ask for password when accessed via http://vimeo.com/<video_id>.
Duh.
This restores the ability to enter URLs without a scheme (and default to http), but still fail if the input is a search term.
It uses a helper method in the InfoExtractor class. The downloader will pick the requested formats using the bitrate in the info dict.
For some videos the resolution is not included in the url, we will need to look in the m3u8 manifest.
