Add Support for Royal Institute Christmas Lectures (1825 - ): richannel.org #4739

The Royal Institute Christmas Lectures ... it's been a thing since 1825.

A good example page is the first of the 1991 Richard Dawkins Lectures: http://www.richannel.org/christmas-lectures-1991-richard-dawkins--waking-up-in-the-universe

the proper steam appears to be is embedded in <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" .. with a <param name="flashvars" value="netstreambasepath= ...

however the page is littered with other video addresses as references or footnotes ( youtube links and wikipedia articles ).

It'd be much appreciated .. cheers :)

I don't have Flash installed, but I found where it's getting the HTML5 version. I'd like to add what's needed to properly parse http://www.richannel.org/layout/js/video-controller.js
