SWR Mediathek (German TV Broadcaster) not supported

[lightonflux]

The "Mediathek" of the German Broadcaster SWR isn't supported by youtube-dl.

would be awesome to have this
nowadays its in formats like this https://swrmediathek.de/player.htm?show=22578520-8890-11e9-88e7-

in the meta there is something like :
og:video https://swrmediathek.de/assets/facebookplayer/licensed_5.10.swf?file=https://swrmediathek.de/fbplayerparams/22578520-8890-11e9-88e7-005056a10824/clips.xml&logo.position=bottom-right&logo.margin=0&logo.file=https://swrmediathek.de/assets/facebookplayer/logo_transparenz.png&logo.hide=false&autostart=true&skin=https://swrmediathek.de/assets/facebookplayer/swrskin.zip

there inside the xml
https://swrmediathek.de/fbplayerparams/22578520-8890-11e9-88e7-005056a10824/clips.xml

you find the actual download links
https://pdodswr-a.akamaihd.net/swrfernsehen/zur-sache-baden-wuerttemberg/20190606/1126172.l.mp4

... for most people pretty inaccessible - hopefully youtube-dl have some magic to apply
(actually dont know how to change quality and we need some way to rename the file)

https://swrmediathek.de/ currently redirects to https://www.ardmediathek.de/swr/. youtube-dl already supports the ARD Mediathek, so this issue can be closed.

Can confirm that it redirects. And non mediathek links like this one can be extracted by *generic extractor:

For me that would be good enough. @viisauksena what's your opinion?
