Parse Voice of America videos

[nicolasmaia]

Voice of America is a US gov news agency that creates public domain videos, such as these:

• https://www.voaafrique.com/a/4124029.html
• https://www.voanews.com/a/birds-connect-people-with-nature/4119919.html

Notice the URLs are different, but the underlying structure for metadata scraping is the same. A full list of language versions of VOA can be found at https://www.voaportugues.com/navigation/allsites

Could you file an issue under rg3/youtube-dl, and link to that issue here? We use youtube-dl to do the downloading and parsing.

@zhuyifei1999 apparently youtube-dl can parse it already, but v2c can't 🤔

Ah I see. It recognize the video as a 'playlist' of one video, which we aren't handling right now. I'll look into this.
