Add session resource index to make app could play the disappeared videos #594

It looks like Apple remove some WWDC videos from the website. For example, there are only dozens of videos on the WWDC 2014 list.

And here is a gist for the resources for WWDC 14. I can play the WWDC 14 session 714 directly from the video URL. But no session page on the path at https://developer.apple.com/videos/wwdc/2014/?id=714. The WWDC.app also can not search that session.

I have no idea why Apple removes the sessions. Can we index the session resources in the repo to make the app able to play the missing session?

Thanks.

Sorry, we have no intention in displaying content that's been removed from Apple's API. Maintaining two separate data sources would be a huge source of complexity and is really bug-prone. If you need to consume that old content, I suggest browsing it directly from the sources you mentioned.
