Package: youtube-dl
Version: 2010.08.04-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

Would you please add support for the bit.ly URL shortening service?
Here's what currently happens if I try to use a bit.ly URL:

 $ youtube-dl http://bit.ly/c6fw7j
 WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.
 [generic] c6fw7j: Downloading webpage
 ERROR: Invalid URL: http://bit.ly/c6fw7j

I wish youtube-dl would realize that this URL redirects to

 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rj6Mh0lwZAQ

and download the video from that page.
