Maybe related to #113 but this time it's definitely a video.

As you can see, the video is shown on Mastodon but not Twitter. It's an MP4 with 1:01 duration, and the original video downloadable here: https://streamable.com/q3bst

Here's my settings:

I'm pretty sure this was caused by Twitter returning the weird Large file can not be finalized synchronously error. So far I haven't been able to figure how to handle this.

According to this comment setting media_category='tweet_video' when uploading video changes the behavior and indeed it does. With that flag I no longer get the error.

@alexgleason I believe this is fixed.
