Ideally I'd like to show a thumbnail without grabbing the whole video.
Open to all suggestions!

A little play icon might be nice, and then download the video once you're actually on the page.
The first frame of the video with a โถ๏ธ sign would be the best, in my opinion.
If that's not possible, just a play sign would be OK.
Just use a generic thumbnail with a play button.
Since it should be one that immediately and intuitively tells the user "this video is hosted on catbox.moe", I suggest this:
Is it possible to grab the first few hundred kb and grab a frame?
Otherwise I'd say a play button that indicates it's from catbox and whatever metadata you can grab like file size or length.
