Video embeds #582

I'm actually not sure if this is something nitter can address or not. However when linking to a tweet that contains a video things like discord slack telegram etc are displaying a still image picture as their embed other than a video. Is it at all possible for nitter to get those embedding video? I have streaming enabled and I didn't notice other relevant settings for this

It's possible but requires non-JS video playback, which is also possible but tricky. I've implemented a prototype in the past that wasn't quite ready due to one weird flaw, but it may happen in the future.
