YoutubeDL uses a regexp in common.py::_find_jwplayer_data
to find the jwplayer options. However the options are found in a
javascript function. For example the regexp might match this
jwplayer('some_string').setup({
/** Other attributes */
sources: {
file: "<url of video>",
label: "<title of video>",
type: "mp4"
}
});
Since this a valid javascript function, some websites write the
options as
var src = {
file: "<url of video>",
label: "<title of video>",
type: "mp4"
}
jwplayer('some_string').setup({
/** Other attributes */
sources: src
});
In this case YoutubeDL won't be able to retrieve sources.file, since
the regexp only matches the ".setup(...)" and ignores the "var src
= ..." assignment.
This commit makes YoutubeDL raise an ExtractorError in the above
case. YoutubeDL will then try alternative methods to retrieve the URL
of the video.
Has a "data-brightcove-video-id" instead of a "data-video-id," otherwise
pretty much just Brightcove. Except the Globe isn't all Brightcove
videos, so fallback to Generic, too.
Also, abstract playlist_from_matches() from generic.py to common.py, and use
it here.

Ref: #10625
In a strict sense, <track>s with kind=captions are not subtitles. [1]
openload misuses this attribute, and I guess there will be more
examples, so I add it to common.py.
Also allow extracting information for subtitles-only <video> or <audio>
tags, which is the case of openload.
