Fetch existing captions from mediaspace.

[chirantan31]

Mediaspace generates its own captions, it is possible using the mediaspace APIs to fetch them. The task is to implement such a feature to fetch mediaspace's existing captions and convert them into formats ClassTranscribe stores it in.

@angrave do you think it is worth it to implement something like this? It seems like Mediaspace does not automatically generate captions (I just check a few videos for CS425 on mediaspace and none of them have any captions), and for any given video it is very improbable that they would have captions for all the languages that we typically support (ENGLISH, SIMPLIFIED_CHINESE, KOREAN, SPANISH, FRENCH). Given that we would probably have to run the normal transcription task to get all of the languages we support even if Mediaspace has the english captions, is it worth it to add this change?

For courses that have a DRES supported student there are accurate captions.
