How to send again a gif recovered from a previous message ?

A question guys, do you know why discord gif integration does work only once ? 'cause when we send a gif link from tenor url, Discord converts it into an "gifv" embed. But if I recover it from a bot and send the embed inn a new message, it only create an embed with a picture inside of the gif, and not the gif itself.

discord only renders gifs in embeds if they end in .gif accordingly you'd either need to re-upload it to the cdn, or retrieve the direct image URL for tenor that is https://c.tenor.com/LSI81MmB6gEAAAAd/cat-fear.gif vs. the share link https://tenor.com/view/cat-fear-kitty-cat-fear-kitty-fear-gif-22560244

I'm unsure of that, because I already tried to add the .gif to the url, without any change

Oh, you mean that I should use the first link you presented ?

souji•3y ago

yes, just slapping the file ending there won't make it a direct image link does in the browser, because tenor redirects with a 302, apparently

EcclériaOP•3y ago

And this link should be in the gifv embed data right ?

no idea what happens there

interesting it's actually the png from the thumbnail, but with gif, lul

EcclériaOP•3y ago

Yeah that's why i'm kinda confused x) Apparently the link in the embed is the second you shared Reflexiom

souji•3y ago

that is the one i posted, yes but the first link is an adaption of the thumbnail firL

replace png with gif and that is the one that works, because it's a direct gif image link

EcclériaOP•3y ago

And I do not really get why this embed object cannot be posted again as the original one

souji•3y ago

because bots are not allowed to use video embeds - including gifv

EcclériaOP•3y ago

Cause the thumbnail is in .png ? oh

souji•3y ago

type: "rich" is the only one bots can use

EcclériaOP•3y ago

So only gif url reposting and not the gifv embed. ok thanks
