SBS 'unknown url type' error & hack workaround

Could not download anything from SBS (but ABC ok) since the weekend... someone there has been tinkering with their website because it is returning urls that start '//link.theplatform.com/...' & this throws the rest of the code a curveball.

I got past it myself by bunging on a 'http:' to the release_url variable in the SBSVideoNode class for its' download() function. You probably want something more robust & elegant, in case whatever tweak they are doing over there tweaks back ;-)

As always, love your work.
