This now fails even more because of #4394.

It doesn't seem to be enough to extend `FancodeVodIE._VALID_URL`: ``` [debug] [fancode:vod] Extracting URL: https://www.fancode.com/cricket/videos/thriller-india-fightback-to-clinch-2wicket-win/35441 [fancode:vod] 35441: Downloading metadata ERROR: [fancode:vod] 35441: Unable to extract brightcove Video ID; please report...
