[BUG] Starboard does not Show videos #15

@youngcoder45

Description

@youngcoder45

The starboard feature in Eigen Bot currently does not handle messages containing videos correctly. When a message with a video receives the required number of reactions, it does not appear properly in the starboard channel.

This results in the video content not being logged or displayed.

Expected Behavior

When a message containing a video reaches the starboard threshold:

  • The message should be posted in the configured starboard channel
  • The video should be visible in the starboard message
  • The embed or message content should include the video attachment or link

Current Behavior

  • Starboard works for text and image messages
  • Messages containing videos are either ignored or logged without the video content

Steps to Reproduce

  • Send a message containing a video in a channel
  • React to the message with the star emoji (or configured starboard emoji)
  • Reach the required star threshold
  • Observe the starboard channel

Possible Cause

The starboard implementation may only process image attachments or embed previews and may not handle video attachments properly.

Suggested Fix

  • Detect video attachments in message attachments
  • Include the video URL or attachment when constructing the starboard message
  • Ensure embeds or attachments support video content

Additional Notes

Supported video formats that should be considered:

  • mp4
  • webm
  • mov

Handling video attachments correctly will ensure the starboard feature logs all types of media consistently.
