Developers: Embeds

(thinking…)

embeds should not require a webserver

parent only works for webservers. not everyone wants or needs to run a webserver to embed videos on a localhost page using file:/// this change benefits no users at all. it may help with 3rd party sites, but file:/// is NEVER a 3rd party but is now blocked from being used due to the parent requirement. this is affecting moderation bots and other tools people use on their local computer that isn't served from a webserver.

    Why this was made with a WebServer on the first place...
    Even with a WebServer i cant use the Routet IP.
    And why need a SSL port for it if twitch already has for self?

    I'd also like to add that things like internal dashboards suffer from the parent requirement not allowing ports other than 443.

    For example, if I wanna embed the chat into grafana I am unable to use the default port 3000 as it's not respected 😐.
