Description of your pull request and other information

Opencast is a platform where universities, especially in Germany and Austria, can publicly upload lectures. There is also the possibility to register as a student with pseudo accounts which are created for lectures. However, the login is not implemented (but you can bypass it with a cookie).
I picked out a few of the public Opencast instances (with the help of Google). If you look at the domains, most of them have a login mask, but this is not important for watching the videos, you can find the videos under the path /engage/ui/index.html?s=1&p=1.
There are two big video players on Opencast 'paella' and the old player 'theodul' . I currently only have the links for paella as valid. Theodul is no longer maintained anyway and is rarely used by any university.
