Idea: replace blob: link with direct link to mp4 #49

Description

@Fred-Vatin

Hi,

I use Obsidian with web clipper to archive some tweets. It works for images and gif but for video, it will only display the thumbnail because the source is like src="blob:https://x.com/56a5be7e-9007-4877-bdd2-58f5cf0e799f" instead of src="https://video.twimg.com/ext_tw_video/1876994333318025217/pu/vid/avc1/720x1280/sWQRX3_ocurBC0Eu.mp4". I posted a feature request to use the BetterTwitFix free API that resolve those links. The downside is it only works for public tweet.

I thought about a script that would add a button to replace those links directly in the DOM so web clipper can get them from there. Do you think it could work for private tweet?

Would you be interested to add this feature to this script or writing a dedicated script that would add a button to run the replacement ? Or auto replace if url matches https://x.com/*/status/tweetId ?
