Videos don't load in meme command + End interaction button

[Dhravya]

I noticed that videos simply don't load in the meme command. The bigger issue is that I don't really know how to work around this. Any suggestions?

Also, an end interaction button could be nice that just disables the buttons.

Its easy tbh. Check if the url of the submission starts with "https://i.redd.it/"

This is how i do in one of my bots-

async for submission in hot:
    if submission.url.startswith("https://i.redd.it/"):
    self.new_memes.append(submission)

Checking is simple, but what about embedding the video? Is it even possible?

[OmLanke]

No. At least i haven't successfully found a way.

You can send the permalink of the submission and discord will natively embed it. The videos never played on my laptop tho. I had to click on the link to watch them

Oh, i just discovered this

        url = data[0]["data"]["children"][0]["data"]["secure_media"]["reddit_video"][
            "fallback_url"
        ]

The above snippet returns the direct .mp4 url of the video, but how to attach it?

[OmLanke]

Yeah i can't seem to find a method that adds video links to embed.

Try setting it as the url during definition of the embed. I'll check and come back

[Dhravya]

Yea maybe should just detect the video and make a hyperlink then

[OmLanke]

This worked?

[Dhravya]

nope didnt work

I don't think embeds can accept video urls lel the video just doesnt load
