It looks like Nitter does not support video.twimg.com (at least for .mp4 links).

For example, this video site embeds the following video: https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1362790502899347463/pu/vid/360x640/LhGfp5APT3xRb12m.mp4

If video.twimg.com is not excluded, the extension will redirect it to Nitter instance, but Nitter will return "Not found", so the video cannot be loaded.

Thanks for reporting this, I'll fix it up, looks like it redirects to:

https://nitter.net/gif/https%3A%2F%2Fvideo.twimg.com%2Fext_tw_video%2F1362790502899347463%2Fpu%2Fvid%2F360x640%2FLhGfp5APT3xRb12m.mp4
when it should be: https://nitter.net/pic/https%3A%2F%2Fvideo.twimg.com%2Fext_tw_video%2F1362790502899347463%2Fpu%2Fvid%2F360x640%2FLhGfp5APT3xRb12m.mp4

Not sure where I got the /gif links from actually, can't see mention of them on the repo.
