1. https://manual.calibre-ebook.com/news.html is the closest

2. Set cover_url in the recipe to point to the location of the cover image

3. If the video articles have a recognizable URL (i.e. is they have something like /video/ in them you can implement the print_version() method in your recipe and return None for the URL. Otherwise implement preprocess_soup() in your recipe, look for the video tag and call self.abort_article() when detected.
