📄 Description

Bilibili downloading broke a few days ago because they just stopped returning __playinfo__ for some requests?
Getting the aid (video id), cid (channel id..?) and bvid (this one isn't actually required but why not) and sending those to the endpoint the site uses when it has no playinfo seems to work just fine

The only thing that matters when calling that endpoint is the Referer header, otherwise you don't get a successful response

Should fix #1545
