Problem/Motivation

Received this Debug message in PHP 8.1 environment.

Message Deprecated function: preg_match(): Passing null to parameter #2 ($subject) of type string is deprecated in Drupal\ableplayer\Plugin\Field\FieldFormatter\AbleplayerRemoteVideoFormatter->getVideoId() (line 180 of /app/web/modules/contrib/ableplayer/src/Plugin/Field/FieldFormatter/AbleplayerRemoteVideoFormatter.php)

Steps to reproduce

Add media, in this case a video. The provider is YouTube.
Include YouTube video link for the embed. Leave empty ableplayer_audio_description (URL of Audio Described Video on YouTube or Vimeo).
Message happens when media is rendered using Able Player Remote Video.

Proposed resolution

Pass no null values to preg_match. Generally they are passed as $url in method AbleplayerRemoteVideoFormatter->getVideoId.
