- Reversed Imgur support.

Removed the Imgur-specific provider handling from 
[includes/db.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/includes/db.php), 
removed the admin upkeep Imgur counter/copy from 
[admin/index.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/index.php), 
updated the upload hint in 
[admin/add.php](/Users/tyemeclifford/Documents/GH/mediaplayer/admin/add.php), 
cleaned the README mentions, and deleted provider_embed.php.

-Imgur links use the official Imgur embed script inside a local wrapper, so album, gallery, image, GIF, GIFV, and video URLs can render without direct iframe blocking.
 
 When adding an external URL, the admin form can fetch title, description, duration, thumbnail metadata, and readable provider view counts through oEmbed, page metadata, and JSON-LD. The save action repeats the metadata lookup as a fallback, so blank titles can be filled from supported external pages even if the browser autofill was not used.

YouTube and Imgur have dedicated handling, and generic metadata patterns cover readable Vimeo, Dailymotion, and similar provider pages when they expose counts. Unsupported providers and local-only uploads can still be corrected manually on the edit screen.
