Review comment (suggestion):
IMO since `_META_URL` is only being used once, this is more readable:

```suggestion
        meta = self._download_json(
            f'https://api.myspotlight.tv/dotplayer/video/{company_id}/{video_id},
            video_id, query={'device_type': 'desktop_web'})['video']
```
(and remove `_META_URL` above)
