Hello, currently when viewing a thread with posts with video attachments, the video attachment thumbnails load very slowly compared to image attachments.
This is primarily because they are just requesting the first frame of the html5 video directly (not cached) and using that as the thumbnail, this is also causing the page to lag if there are a lot of video attachments.
This seems silly considering the media gallery addon already supports and creates proper video thumbnails using ffmpeg, and the media gallery pages use those thumbnails as proper image thumbnails (which are cached) which loads instantly and also doesn't make the page lag.
Are there any addons that currently make it so video attachment previews/thumbnails on threads use the already created media gallery thumbnail as images instead of fetching the html5 video? If not, would anybody be interested in making it?
