Description

I would like to have support for downloading and embedding thumbnails for videos on PeerTube instances.

In the HTML of the site in the <head> there are three <meta> tags

  1. property="image"
  2. property="og:image"
  3. property="twitter:image"

each has a content attribute that contains the thumbnail url.
I have checked multiple PeerTube instances and this seems to be the case for all of them.

So for example this video would have the tag
<meta property="image" content="https://gegenstimme.tv/lazy-static/previews/77b5b0ea-eca1-465e-a6bd-c96dfa11ded7.jpg" />
