Issue #1
Video should be able to load. This can be done by setting the quality parameter on the videos to 640 instead of 1280, because a resolution of 1280x720 will almost certainly fail to load because they become too big.

- The reporter's template handles this case better.

- Falko, reducing MANUALLY the quality of a video is WRONG. Right now the IV is not rendering the video because of Server side limitation. This limitation will change in the near future (for 1080p videos, 4k videos, etc.). And then you will get a poor user experience from the IV side (when in the web will be "seen fine").
Since IV is not accepting multiple sources for the same video (would feet really nice with the recent update of Telegram's update of data usage), we SHOULD NOT touch this part.
This video of 2:36m length at 720p have a size of ~20M. Your template is reducing ALL videos of the web from their original size to 480p. If you get a video of 7:50m, what you will do? reduce it to 240p and open other issue???

- @soviet - please take our apologies. Your arguments are correct.
When several image resolutions are available, the IV page should use better quality images.

Also this is the original URL from the source. No need to manually change that - might even lead to broken IV, if it malforms an otherwise working URL, which would lead to your template being rejected. Also resolution should not be decreased to overcome the size limit for videos.
