Directly calling the embed url (http://player.cnevids.com/embed/5439c27e61646d0c45000000/53ada37269702d58e0180000?src=tny-play) works but isn't detected by generic.py because the iframe embed code lacks a protocol in front of the URL, i.e. it's: "//player.cnevids.com/embed/5439c27e61646d0c45000000/53ada37269702d58e0180000?src=tny-play"
