Adding because it fits the theme. I did this song for years in gigs, sometimes on piano, other times played fingerstyle on the guitar. Sung by the great Paul Williams who wrote it.

I am guessing X/Rumble use some sort of API to get the video code from the embed URL when somebody posts a normal rumble link. *shrugs*

Is what I said above, if you do it, anybody posting a Rumble link has to click on the button for iframe embed code for the video and you just parse the part of that after embed word. SHould never be any issue then.
Like YT, no need to parse the tail end *snip*

IIRC, I think before the issue you ran into was when I would post a normal link to the video, the letters/numbers within the link were not the actual video ID like in YT, so parsing those out would not work like for YT.

dunno, but I think they may have changed the way they link to videos, not sure. Now they offer a specific iframe link as well as other specific links.
