Added automatic embedding of the .mp3 attachments.

Some files might be double embedded - the existing [mp3] tags should be removed now (more work...)

Added automatic embedding of the .mp4 attachments 😊

Same as above - double embedding is possible.

Removed metadata preloading for mp3 and mp4 - it turned out, that it takes a lot even for metadata, especially if there are several embedded files on the page. Pages load MUCH faster now.

Since 3d party cookies/scripts are disabled by latest Firefox releases (especially the mobile versions), what breaks embedding of Twitter posts for some users, I disabled this feature. The links to Twitter posts are still there.

Not had this error message before

Curious more than anything else - I wonder why there is a check and limit?

I did wait the prescribed time and everything was OK

I wonder why there is a check and limit?

It's to prevent SPAMming and/or overloading the server with too many requests. Think of an external program which makes a dozen posts per second.
