1. show tested urls in log tab
   
2. add facebook video parser and unit tests
3. add generic video parser and unit tests: analysing the og:video:url or video tag in the HTML source.
4. further analyse the embedded urls: the video URLs containing /embed/ are most likely the HTML which needs further analysed.

Please note, you can enter the VIP Key which allows you to call the server API in case the client video parser fails locally - this greatly unlocks video parser to many many other video sites.
