I’ll follow your advice and apply the patch, then see if the file health check eventually gets on my nerves :). If it does, I’ll seek your services to build the add-on. Have a safe and rewarding remainder of your vacation!

Yes, we can! Thank you for being constructive and helpful! I may need an add-on for this, as applying the patch directly will trigger the file health checker to complain.

Yes, a member of the XenForo staff confirmed to me in a private ticket that they prefer new bug reports in such cases.

Yes, this is the actual behavior. If “Allowed attachment file extensions” includes .opus but not .ogg, uploading a file with the .opus extension fails. If it includes both .opus and .ogg, or only .ogg, the upload succeeds—but the file’s extension is changed to .ogg.

I meant “any part of the XF application where the use of the audio player is not expected.” For instance, a forum post in the frontend is a context where the audio player can be used, whereas the ACP is not intended for such use. 1) I have checked “Allow video/audio uploads with maximum file...

That particular claim refers to real-world practices, including the history of using .ogg for Vorbis long before Opus existed. “RECOMMEND” (sic) is all a specification of this kind can do. The IETF is a standards organization, not a law enforcement body. You’re stretching the language with...

In fact, it seems that .opus files are not accepted outside the scope of the audio player. I have DragonByte eCommerce installed, and the .opus extension has been added under ACP > Options > Attachments > Allowed attachment file extensions. However, I’m unable to attach files with the .opus...

Hi Kirby, Thank you very much for your insights, suggestions, and explanations—they’re highly appreciated! Yes, FFprobe (FFmpeg) reports that the files are contained in OGG, as expected. That’s not the issue. The issue lies with the file extension. I’m not sure I can agree here (the “isn’t...

When I attach a file with the .opus extension to a post, the extension gets changed to .ogg during the process. If I then download the .ogg file, it still plays back as Opus. So it seems that XF automatically encapsulates Opus files in the OGG container. Why does this happen, and can it be...

I believe it would be more convenient for all the parties involved to reopen this bug report rather than create a new one. That way, we can keep all relevant information consolidated in one place.

The issue is present on this forum.

Has this been implemented? When I attach a file with the .opus extension to a post, the extension gets changed to .ogg during the process. If I then download the .ogg file, it still plays back as Opus. So it seems that XF automatically encapsulates Opus files in the Ogg container. Why does this...

And something else possibly broken! Oops, oversight, regression! If there is a need for a hotfix, the XenForo team issues it within hours, too. Different companies work out different methodologies for releasing updates. The quote from Kier indicates XenForo are rethinking their release model...

They can predict how their add-ons will interact with the framework, XenForo in this case, but interaction goes far and beyond that. They cannot anticipate how their add-ons will interact with other—possibly custom—add-ons in a specific system. Add to this server configuration, and it takes a...
