Description of the issue, suggested solution and other information

EllenTube uses some External Host Video Player.
All the videos present on EllenTube are now in this particular url format only, & so the current regex pattern doesn't support it. Moreover, the video id along with the actual video path also need to be extracted from the embed url.
New Video URL Pattern:

  1. https://www.ellentube.com/video/ellens-biggest-most-generous-giveaway-ever.html
  2. https://www.ellentube.com/video/a-big-surprise-for-big-apple-fans.html

I found a band-aid fix for single videos by extracting real Kaltura ID from the video's thumbnail image urls, but I still have no fix for playlists. Playlists are on /episodes/<id> links, and they reference other playlist items by UUIDs.
