### Adding support for a new site
If you want to add support for a new site, copy *any* [recently modified](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commits/master/youtube_dl/extractor) file in `youtube_dl/extractor`, add an import in [`youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/__init__.py). Have a look at [`youtube_dl/common/extractor/common.py`](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py) for possible helper methods and a [detailed description of what your extractor should return](https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/common.py#L38). Don't forget to run the tests with `python test/test_download.py Test_Download.test_YourExtractor`! For a detailed tutorial, refer to [this blog post](http://filippo.io/add-support-for-a-new-video-site-to-youtube-dl/).
