Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

Seems as if the current BR extractor is not compatible with latest BR website any more..?

Note that when opening the video itself, a different URL is generated (https://www.br.de/mediathek/video/die-zukunft-des-denkens-27-homo-digitalis-ein-upgrade-fuer-dein-gehirn-av:59e640b82e371a00129bd995), which doesn't trigger the BR extractor at all.

It seems as though they have a completely new media library (https://www.br.de/mediathek), although they still host some videos under the old system. We probably need an additional information extractor for the media library.
