def resolve(web_url):
"""
Resolve a web page to a media stream.
It is usually as simple as::
import resolveurl
media_url = resolveurl.resolve(web_url)
where ``web_url`` is the address of a web page which is associated with a
media file and ``media_url`` is the direct URL to the media.
Behind the scenes, :mod:`resolveurl` will check each of the available
resolver plugins to see if they accept the ``web_url`` in priority order
(lowest priotity number first). When it finds a plugin willing to resolve
the URL, it passes the ``web_url`` to the plugin and returns the direct URL
to the media file, or ``False`` if it was not possible to resolve.
.. seealso::
:class:`HostedMediaFile`
Args:
web_url (str): A URL to a web page associated with a piece of media
content.
Returns:
If the ``web_url`` could be resolved, a string containing the direct
URL to the media file, if not, returns ``False``.
