Hello Chris, some ETA / estimation to have this feature in XFMG?At the moment, all I can say is the suggestion has been made and it will be considered at some point in the future.
I need Video Upload mp4 in Threads!!
YouTube videos are stupid because many are deleted.
If you are on its own server, it is much better.
Therefore, it should be possible at Xenforo 2.0 upload!
Youtube only deletes videos when people use other peoples IP in a blatent show of theft to gain views and subscribers, or of course if you upload some nastiness that has no place on the public face of the internet.YouTube videos are stupid because many are deleted.

Good call - I didn't even consider the benefit of not having to encode or enforce web-friendly video formats.Youtube only deletes videos when people use other peoples IP in a blatent show of theft to gain views and subscribers, or of course if you upload some nastiness that has no place on the public face of the internet.
Video being on your server only works if videos are already encoded in a web friendly format (and really you cant trust userland encoded video, you need to encode it again)....most of your users wont have a clue what that means...which for you means upon upload you would have to batch process all uploaded videos from a queue that sends them one at a time to ffmpeg and I can tell that a 720 video encoding with decent parameters is going to tax your server more than 50 or 100 users viewing pages would.
Basically unless you have a server specifically for video encoding which you can offload all encoding jobs to, or use an encoding/delivery service (which costs as much as a decent server) or already have a ridiculously powerful server that uses like 1% of it's resources upload/encoding video to your own server is not happening.
Check these prices out.

don't even count the first column, 1Gb is nothing when it comes to video
The youtube uploader concept works (have tested making both, one that uses one account and another which requires you to authorize uploading to your YT account through the xf site) and for the general public it is the only viable option and most of all it is free.
Please like the first post, it's the number of first post likes that are taken into consideration for suggestions.I'll cast another vote for this feature.
I'm on the fence about upgrading from VB 3.8 to VB5 or migrating to xenForo. This would definitely make me choose xenForo.
I've got a forum with 6+ million attachments. Mostly photos, but about 100,000 videos. Being able to convert new videos to a mobile friendly format when they are posted and letting people either download the original or view a streaming version online would be a major seller.
Whatever you do, do not migrate to vb5 unless you want to kill off your site.I've got a forum with 6+ million attachments. Mostly photos, but about 100,000 videos.

XenGallery has just added video upload: https://xenforo.com/community/resources/sonnb-xengallery-video-upload.4222/
Its certainly a major seller. I am thinking about moving my sites away from XFMG to XenGallery because of this.
It also has redirection scripts which XFMG still doesn't have.
