+     * NOTE ON PATCH:
+     *
+     * The original code does not seem to work anymore.
+     *
+     * I have commented-out all the original code, and instead
+     * replaced it with a call/exec to youtube-dl (this is a separate/stand-alone python script).
+     *
+     * Available at http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
+     *
+     *
+     * The current code works on a/my samsung TV. I have not tested it further on other devices.
+     * (I needed a quick fix, because I wanted to watch some video's.  :) )
+     *
+     * I thought I would share the results.
+     *
+     * Suggestions / feedback  -> [e-mail]
+     *
+     * Regards, Bas Nedermeijer
