   you can use video tags to embed standard videos with lowercase extensions, but if they're either uppercase or partially uppercase the embed fails
   
   ie.
   
   [video]https://pomf2.lain.la/f/4qxmuz0c.MP4[/video]
   
   does not work even though the file is valid. normally I'd just rename and reupload, but hosts often detect the video hash and just give me a link to the original uppercase file instead of re-generating a new one:

   I'm hoping it's something lanny can fix with a one-line change
   
   I could download the code and HAVE A PULL but I don't want to

   I'm thinking line 121 is looking for a lower-case extension and then deciding it's not a video.
   
   Maybe Sophie could fix this. Sophie?
