TV3 rebranded Virginmedia

[lcsneil]

TV3 in Ireland has rebranded to virginmedia and currently error is site is not supported but URL is the same apart from TVE

e.g.

old URL that worked

https://www.tv3.ie/player/show/1025/148233/0/Gogglebox-Ireland

NEW URL that gives site not supported

https://www.virginmediatelevision.ie/player/show/1025/148233/0/Gogglebox-Ireland

Hopefully a simple update of code?

Looking at the page source of the above programme. I've taken the following info.

ooyala video embedded with http://player.ooyala.com/static/v4/stable/4.24.11/core.min.js

url 'url': 'https://www.virginmediatelevision.ie/player/show/1025/149821/0/
'info_dict': {
'id': '102500149821', - I think this is the right ID
'ext': 'mp4',
'title': 'Virgin Media Player | Gogglebox Ireland - Gogglebox Ireland',
'duration': 43.276,', - couldn't get the duration ?

There's also a description meta tag as below.

Is this enought to add into generaric or do I need to add a new extractor ?
