Trouble with https and mplayer #41

Hi,

Had some trouble with youtube-https-links coming back from youtube-dl. I couldn't play them with mplayer. Has someone experienced the same problem?

I've added --prefer-insecure as option to youtube-dl and the links coming back through this seem to work with mplayer.

Tested on my cubieboard.

Same issue here. I modified the youtube-dl calls in init.py to also include --prefer-insecure and everything works. Long term solution would have mplayer play nicely with the URL but for now it should either be a flag or set as default for yt.
