Title: added el=[type] to info url

Not sure if you still maintain node-ytdl, but I modified ytdl.getInfo() to try el=embedded, detailpage, vevo, and blank in the info url. An error is raised if none of them work. I found similar logic in https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/ and it seems to fix a problem with certain types of videos not downloading.

Thanks.
