Research direction

Start with the Video model and compare its Play and Files fields with the Postman response shown in the issue, using the earlier issue #456 for context. Reproduce with a fully pre-authenticated owner token; done means Video.Play is populated and Video.Files is available as returned by the API.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Fully pre-authenticated token of owner account.
