+- Q: How to redirect to another extractor?
+ - A:
+ - Most simple using only `url_result`
+ ```
+ # get proper url first if needed.
+ return self.url_result(url)
+ ```
+ - Using `_request_webpage` and `to_screen` in addition
+ ```
+ urlh = self._request_webpage(
+ url, id, note='Downloading redirect page')
+ url = urlh.geturl()
+ self.to_screen('Following redirect: %s' % url)
+ return self.url_result(url)
+ ```
+ - Using `return` construction
+ ```
+ return {
+ '_type': 'url_transparent',
+ 'url': url,
+ 'ie_key': ExampleIE.ie_key(),
+ 'id': id,
+ }
+ # Alternative if extractor supports internal uri like kaltura
+ return {
+ '_type': 'url_transparent',
+ 'url': 'kaltura:%s:%s' % (partner_id, kaltura_id),
+ 'ie_key': KalturaIE.ie_key(),
+ 'id': id,
+ }
+ ```
