yes @r, normally i would agree with you and just embed a video with html5, you are most welcome to do this approch in Bloat, but then you will lose some of the couple of benefits of using peertube's js. also to quote @silverpill elsewhere in this thread:
>Mitra will not embed remote media into posts, and downloading the whole video is probably not feasible.
my css solution is really targeted at mitra, and its just about saying "its a video!" and "its external!", sorry if i created confusion by animating it over the Bloat interface. i think i would use a simpler style.... no movement animation or color if i were to do this for bloatFE. Something like "Video at <externalsite.com>" might be on top of the thumbnail and that would be all.
