Please add viddler support. #2

If possible, it would be nice to have viddler support. For example, kotaku.com seems to use viddler for embedded videos (sometimes): http://kotaku.com/in-japan-theres-a-girlfriend-coat-to-hug-lonely-peo-470822962

Seems possible. Will look into it when I have time.

Some notes to myself:

Please check if current master works for you and complain if some videos won't show up. I've tested it with the viddler blog (but apparently they use html5 by default and I couldn't find an option to force flash videos).

Directly embedded videos will not work as viddler appears to use tags only (without embed) and I don't want to add even more complexity to the code just for the sake of an embedding method which is deprecated in the first place. Give me a shout though if you come across any of those as well.

Videos on Kotaku.com (like the one I posted previously) just show up as a black screen with the text "Video not found" in the middle.

So I've looked into this a bit and it seems to be a specific problem with kotaku. If you open the iframes they embed in their articles directly, you get a "video not found" message which leads me to believe they do some sort of referrer-checking. The viddler blog however, which uses the exact same URL scheme, works fine. So unfortunately, it appears you will have to talk to the kotaku guys if you want to be able to view the video in their rss feed. There is nothing I can do, sorry.
