Remove scraper & extract source from thumbnail_url #10

Remove use of selenium & scraping to improve speeds massively.

Now using the clip's thumbnail_url to get the asset path rather than waiting for the clip to load on site & scraping from <video> tag.

Iimproves build time tremendously by not including binaries for geckodriver.
Reduces dependency on Firefox being installed on host machine.
Reduces risk by removing scraping behavior.
