I am guessing X/Rumble use some sort of API to get the video code from the embed URL when somebody posts a normal rumble link. *shrugs* |

Is what I said above, if you do it, anybody posting a Rumble link has to click on the button for iframe embed code for the video and you just parse the part of that after embed word. SHould never be any issue then.Like YT, no need to parse the tail end *snip* |

We are on a coding forum, coders are used to clicking on links if need be and don't mind. Different on a normal forum where folks are terrified to click on shit and everything has to be embedded. But, Rumble is very popular. |

IIRC, I think before the issue you ran into was when I would post a normal link to the video, the letters/numbers within the link were not the actual video ID like in YT, so parsing those out would not work like for YT.I am guessing somebody would always*snip* |

Java was the ''in'' language in the late 90s. People thought because MS was doing VisualJ that it was a good language. Prefer the BASIC layer over it I mentioned before. No matter, Java is bloated and slow. Can remember when the Java runtimes we*snip* |

IMHO, ImageMagik would be overkill for what you asked ChatGPT. That said, I have used CoolText since it first appeared and I believe it uses ImageMagik under the hood. Great and reliable but not needed for simply loading an AVIF |
