Multi-segment video produces no items #70

Several items in the TV News Archive collection are displayed in the IA viewer in segments with summaries under them. This appears to be the result of a different ingestion/derivation process, possibly related to web scraping.

The manifests we produce from these items contain no items at all, so we have effectively no support for them.

Further research should be done on the ways these items work and how to map them to the IIIF presentation API.

Examples:

Note that these items also appear to have captions located in txt files, which the IA viewer is displaying correctly.

The first example here gives a 403 error when you try to load the media file, quite likely because it is under copyright. We perhaps should just fail gracefully if we don't think we can play it.
