video url.
Allowed arguments:
"cb"
Set a callback subroutine, SEE LWP::UserAgent ':content_cb' for
details.

Set the filename, possibly using placeholders to be filled with
information gathered about the video.
"filename" supported format placeholders:
{video_id}
{title}
{user}
{fmt}
{suffix}
{resolution}
Output filename is set to "{video_id}.{suffix}" by default.
"file_name"
DEPRECATED alternative for "filename".
"fmt"
set the format to download. Defaults to the best video quality
(inferred by the available resolutions).
playback_url($video_id, [, \%args])
$client->playback_url($video_id);
$client->playback_url($video_id, { fmt => 37 });
Return playback URL of the video. This is direct link to the movie
file. Function supports only "fmt" option.
prepare_download($video_id)
Gather data about the video. A hash reference is returned, with the
following keys:
"fmt"
the default, suggested format. It is inferred by selecting the
alternative with the highest resolution.

"suffix"

"fmt" above).
"title"

"video_id"

above).
"video_url_map"
an hash reference containing details about all available
formats.
The "video_url_map" has one key/value pair for each available
format, where the key is the format identifier (can be used as "fmt"
parameter for "download", for example) and the value is a hash
reference with the following data:
"fmt"
the format specifier, that can be passed to "download"
"resolution"
the resolution as *width*x*height*
"suffix"
the suffix, providing a hint about the video format (e.g. webm,
flv, ...)
"url"
the URL where the video can be found
