Comment (by r-a-y):

 Oops!  Sorry about `04.patch`, imath!

 `05.patch` does the following:

 - Fixes issues with embedding from `04.patch`.
 - Adds a "Read More" link to the embed excerpt.  I made a few tweaks to
 `bp_activity_truncate_entry()` and `bp_create_excerpt()` as I was working
 on this.
 - The `BP_oEmbed_Component` class now supports registering your own oEmbed
 endpoint args with the `set_route_args()` method.  See how the
 `BP_Activity_oEmbed_component` class registers the `'hide_media'`
 parameter.
 - Moved embed media block to a function and hooked to the new
 `'bp_activity_embed_after_content'` action.

 Regarding:

 > Anyway i think i wouldn't try to embed an embed.

 Twitter allows an embed within a embed:
 `https://dev.twitter.com/cards/overview`

 I also think it should be up to the BP site if they want to disable this
 or not.

 In `05.patch`, you can disable displaying embeds with this -
 `remove_filter( 'bp_activity_embed_display_media', '__return_false' );`.

 I also think it's useful for devs to ping our oEmbed endpoint to see if
 they want to hide media or not.

 `05.patch` registers `'hide_media'` as an oEmbed parameter and allows devs
 that are pinging our oEmbed activity endpoint to set this parameter.

 So if a dev does this request:

 {{{
 // Make sure the activity permalink is valid before doing this!
 http://example.com/wp-
 json/oembed/1.0/embed/activity?hide_media=1&url=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Fmembers%2FUSER%2Factivity%2F1%2F
 }}}

 The embedded item will not be shown.

 This is similar to
 [https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/get/statuses/oembed how Twitter's
 oEmbed works].

 Let me know what you think.
