Automatically detect provider

For kicks, I'd like to be able to do

/provider/YyI52_FEYgY
/provider/121814744

and it will tell you which provider it is. Now, it could be tricky to guess but both Vimeo and YouTube follow strict id conventions which some regex should be able to find.

On provider error return it as an answer

When making a query to the providers api, if there is an error, return those error messages as the media api response.

Should it it be the pure "provider' error message, or should it be a "unified" message thought every providers available?

I am thinking maybe both with something like that:

{
  error: {
    code: '404',
    message: 'content not found',
    providerError: { // raw provider error}
  }
}

What error to return?

Version control

Make sure to tag and release and what not so we don't break applications using media now. Like v1, v2 etc.

Deploy no longer works

Zeit/Now killed their v1 hosting so this project is no longer online on media.now.sh.

Unfortunately strrr.tv depends on this and it doesn't seem easy to deploy on now v2 aka Vercel…
