As the online service api.unblockvideos.com is no longer available, video playback fails.
To fix this, another online service, accessible under www.indiandesitools.com is now used.

The YouTube video player (that is loaded by VideoPlayerIFrame.js) has been broken for some time and probably won't work again, as web standards further enhance and the TVs are stuck on an old javascript engine.

This is a quick and dirty fix.

The long-term solution is to let the client do the direct video url retrieval.
This functionality can be provided by node-ytdl-core.
