Gvid has the ability to hotlink videos, at least for sites that will let me get away with it. X happens to be one of the. There is an upload form for uploading a hotloaded link and or linking an iframe. Which one it does depends on the domain and type of url provided.

https://gvid.tv/upload/hotlink

In the case of twitter I can do the hotlink. For the case of twitter, filling in the title is manditory because these posts don't typically have titles. For other sites I can often grab the title from them if the title is omitted.

This is handy because for some sites X is a pariah. People don't like the assosiation with Musk. Also some sites want a direct video url, which X is not typically. But you can put a .mp4 at the end of a Gvid url and it will simulate a direct media url in the right contexts.
