An OSError or IOError generally indicates something a little more
wrong than a "simple" UnavailableVideoError, so print the actual
traceback that leads to the exception. Otherwise meaningful postmortem
debugging a bug report is essentially infeasible.

Unfortunately it only transmits video a few mornings per month, so
leaving the 'skip' is probably appropriate. Updating the 'skip- to
include the calendar information though.
Support content.jwplatform... src attributes inside <iframe> tags in
addition to <script> tags. Just a regexp change.
Add a test (currently Generic_72).
BrightcoveNewIE.extract_urls(): Handle player data when it is all in
attributes of the <video> tag, and also the id is
data-brightcove-video-id not data-video-id.
Add test to generic extractor, note HEAD gives 404, no checksum computed(?).
discourse.ubuntu.com has gone away, repalce with skiplagged.com.
Be nice to have a non-frontpage URL that might be more stable,
though I don't have one. Maybe this should move to html
in test/test_InfoExtractor.py?
Has a "data-brightcove-video-id" instead of a "data-video-id," otherwise
pretty much just Brightcove. Except the Globe isn't all Brightcove
videos, so fallback to Generic, too.
Also, abstract playlist_from_matches() from generic.py to common.py, and use
it here.

Otherwise, if you screw up a playlist test by including a playlist
dictionary key, you'll be there for eons while it downloads all the
files before erroring out.
When doing version probes for ffmpeg, do the
equivalent of calling it as:
ffmpeg -version <&-
Where <&- is shell syntax for closing stdin before calling the
program. This is roughly equivalent to </dev/null without actually
opening /dev/null.
This prevents ffmpeg -version from hanging when run in the background.
Fixes#955.
The reason is that ffmpeg tries to manipulate stdin to set up terminal
characteristic, and that causes the kernel to suspend the parent
process (youtube-dl).
Note that closing stdin is achieved by calling subprocess.Popen() with
stdin set to subprocess.PIPE and without passing any input to
Popen.communicate(). This is somewhat subtle.
