Review comment (refactor):
- Since we are extracting the player ID from a static URL, we could instead just hardcode the ID and skip the extra request
- `url_transparent` is not needed here since we are not returning any additional metadata

```suggestion
            # Player ID is taken from .content.brightcove.E200.pro.pc.account_id:
            # https://tver.jp/olympic/paris2024/req/api/hook?q=https%3A%2F%2Folympic-assets.tver.jp%2Fweb-static%2Fjson%2Fconfig.json&d=
