@frogzone@r@marty_bent Mitra will not embed remote media into posts, and downloading the whole video is probably not feasible. But I think PeerTube should provide a thumbnail image.
@silverpill@marty_bent@frogzone How does Mitra handle attachments from Pleroma and Mastadon? I don't think it'd be much different in the case of PeerTube.
@silverpill@r@marty_bent ok sweet if you want me to do the peertube emoji overlay effects i don't know whether you want to use a flat or line version so ive exported both below
@silverpill@r@marty_bent how do we want a person go to access the peertube site, via a text link? that would seems to run counter to the mitra vibe of a clean ui, but its up to you.
if its okay i'll stop tagging Marty and r in the next comment.... thanks Marty for the EXCELLENT interview and thanks r for your help.
(as an aside the thumbnail image is very small, if i were you id choose the 2nd image instead, the "preview" image, then you can make that higher res jpg span the full width of the timeline and itll still look good, i can't see the tiny thumbnail being much use on mitra, unless you plan to display videos in a channel in a 4 column layout or something.)
@frogzone Videos are easy to identify, and I'll consider making an exception for them later. But for now preview will be displayed as a regular attachment.
@silverpill i guess i think peertube IS a special case. whenever i have stumbled over a peetrube i have tended to be happy that i did.since coming to mitra ive not noticed them, and i thought that maybe peertube stopped working.
having said that i don't know how easy it is to identify a post as a peertube vid programmaticall, so *shrugs*
