<p>GNU social comes with two plugins that add important media functionality.</p>
<p>Not talking neither about ImageEncoder nor VideoEncoder this time, but rather
about StoreRemoteMedia and Embed.</p>
<p><a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/StoreRemoteMedia">StoreRemoteMedia</a>
fetches remote files when they are Linked in a note. I.e., when the major mimetype isn't <code>text</code>.
It usually fetches and attempts to generate a thumb, if there are no encoders, it drops.</p>
<p><a href="https://code.undefinedhackers.net/GNUsocial/gnu-social/src/branch/v3/plugins/Embed">Embed</a>
attempts to generate a page preview from opengraph and oembed. I.e., acts when the major mimetype is <code>text</code>.</p>
<p>We've changed so much with GNU social v3 that, regarding SRM there was
no possible port, just a full rewrite. The code of both plugins became
much easier of understanding and compact, while promoting the same
functionality with more stability.</p>
