Hi,

first of all, thanks for creating and updating this extension! Most of the time, this works flawless for me.
Unfortunately, it looks like if someone posts a video using v.reddit.it, the Video is not embedded.

Any chance that this can be fixed?

Thanks!

My pleasure :)
I'll seen what I can do. I let you know.
PR welcome!

Do you have any feed I can use to do that?

Very difficult, as Reddit is very "quick" and fast with their RSS Feeds. You can try these for example:

--> maybe do a quick "CTRL+F" Text search for "v.redd.it" to see if there is currently a video link within that Feed. If yes, add it to FreshRSS.

This will be supported in the next release. The support is not perfect because I couldn't find the source of the file. I had to rely on the fallback value provided in the json response.
If there is a better way to do that, let me know.
