I tried this sadly but it seems to require at least a few mb to create a frame!
In that case, maybe add a setting? For users without data limitations, and especially with the relatively rare occurrence of catbox links, a couple megabytes here and there isn't a big deal. Otherwise, as others have said, a generic play button is perfectly acceptable too.
