Structure

There is usual structure of VK Post widget:

<div class="container">

<div class="post"> #HERE WILL BE PLACED EMBED WHEN SCRIPT BELOW THIS DIV FINISH PROCESSING </div>

<script>#HERE IS SCRIPT WHICH PLACES EMBED IN DIV ABOVE</script>

</div>

This is how it looks on page parsed by Telegram (check it on issue page)

Same structure used for JW Player, which is too in Popular Widgets list

Can Telegram add support to this?

Yes, they can. Actually it happened before to Aparat Videos, where is only one way to get content - take link from <script>

So it's done in :after block on every template

Aparat support block

Why I think this acception incorrect

Yes, there are people, who done these things with scripts. But should I do so? Checklist says "No":

Other thing that I think admin got wrong:

<Iframe> versions of VK Posts and JW player has been working even before IV Contest 2.0 started. So I insist that in Popular Widgets they meant support to this version of widget but not an <iframe>. In other case it makes no sence to put ALREADY WORKING WIDGET in a list "WE WILL ADD SUPPORT TO THIS WIDGETS SOON", because it's ALREADY WORKING WIDGET

Why I choose to generate IV

A) Because there is no safe way to turn off generation:

1) "You can @unsupport it!". No, I can't.

Why? Because when support will be added there will be no IV anyway. Try to @unsupport any working widget, eg. Youtube

See?

2) "You can turn off generation on these pages" No, I can't

Why? Because when support will be added there will be no IV anyway

B) Because rules told me so

Turning this widget into <iframe> it's the same to extract content from it

And checklist says:

And I just choose not to extract this content, because checklist saying that this is optional
