Review comment (suggestion):
I would inline this and also validate the returned data types with traverse_obj
```suggestion
        return {
            **self._parse_jwplayer_data(traverse_obj(
                content_data, ('contentVideo', 'video', 'videoData', {json.loads})), video_id),
            **traverse_obj(content_data, {
                'title': ('title', {str}),
                'description': ('description', {str}),
                'timestamp': ('publishedAt', {parse_iso8601}),
            }),
        }
```
