├────────────┼──────────────┼────────────────────────────────────────────────────┤

Examples:

Basic video embed:
https://vmx256.haydar.dev/e?video_url=https://pomf2.lain.la/f/q6hti10r.mp4

With thumbnail preview:
https://vmx256.haydar.dev/e?video_url=...&i=https://example.com/thumb.jpg

With forced dimensions:
https://vmx256.haydar.dev/e?video_url=...&w=640&h=360

Notes:
    - `video_url` must point to a direct-accessible file.
    - `i` can be any image file (.jpg, .png, etc.).
    - `w` and `h` allow manual sizing — otherwise defaults apply.
    - vmx256 does not proxy, store, or validate files. it simply wraps the URL.


Strengths
• you can embed non-web-native codecs like HEVC or ProRes, even inside MP4 or MOV containers.
  playback depends on the user's browser — Safari 13+ or Thorium will handle HEVC, for example.

• no file size limit. you could embed a full raw Blu-ray if you want to.

• send high bitrate clips without compression.

• embeds appear native in Discord — just like files from their own CDN.

• fully stateless. nothing is stored, tracked, or inspected.


Limitations
• you must use a direct link to the file — one that ends in `.mp4`, `.webm`, etc.

• cdn.discordapp.com links won’t embed. discord blocks embeds over 50MiB from their own CDN.

• resolution is capped at 3840 × 2160 (4K), higher values may crash discord or get rejected silently.

• if the original file is removed, the embed will break. vmx256 does not proxy, cache, or serve any files.


Privacy Policy

- we do not log IPs, user agents, or query parameters.

- traffic is proxied through Cloudflare for security and caching purposes.

that's it.

A: there's nothing to delete. we store nothing.
