TED Talks scraper out of date

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago

description:
  select a view (e.g. Newest Talks) and play a video.  The program either
quietly fails or says 'aborting, too many errors in playlist'

cause:
  The link string on ted_talks_scraper line 53 is out of date.

suggested fix:
  I fixed it locally by updating it to this:
            if link.string == 'Watch high-res video (MP4)':

  Wanted to generalize it with something like this
            if re.match("Watch.*high-res", link.string): 
  but I must be screwing up something because it errors, complaining that
match wants a string or buffer.

TED Talks Script v2.1.3

thanks for a great tool

Changed state: Fixed

That should be closed by revision r1433 , but I got the numbers backwards.
link.string isn't actually a string, so you have to convert it first.  Thanks 
for the 
fix, though!
