I think that such an Add-on ist useless as you always risk loosing content when the used service goes down or "suddenly" changes the business model.What do you think?
Hmm ... that's possible out of the box? You just have to configure attachments to accept common video file extensions like .mp4.Most every social media platform allows members to upload video from their phone to a post. Give me an add-on that will allow me to do that and I'll pay you well, I'm sure others will too.
It's not actually a feature in IPS yet, as 4.2 is still in beta.
Oops, beat me to it apparently
I’m not seeing the benefit over just uploading the video to YouTube and embedding it in a post. You’re correct that it’s resource heavy so again I just think YouTube is the place for this, or FB even.That user experience is terrible though, I'm doing that on one of my sites and I get people uploading videos from their phones. You have to download the video file before you watch it, plus it's incredibly resource heavy on the server. Playback often doesn't work at all on mobile too, depending on your device and the size of the file.
Chris said Betanearly at beta like we are
ThisBasically this addon let the user upload on imgur (but could be any service like this one) the images so that they don't addup to the server space and are served from imgur.
Well, AWS isn't going away, you just have to pay them for bandwidth, which is really nominal...I'd say that is a long term solution, unless the board admin dies and doesn't leave anyone else the ability to take over.I think that such an Add-on ist useless as you always risk loosing content when the used service goes down or "suddenly" changes the business model.

^^ again, AWS. On one board I maintain, we have an AWS account for some older version of software, and we had videos uploaded to AWS that would stream from there, and we paid monthly bandwidth charges for whatever was viewed (and it wasn't much $$). If that could be configured to allow direct video uploading to AWS then tie into a link, you have my money...
YesNow that XF 2 is officially out I'm looking for suggestions for my first 2.0 add-on.
For example, is there anything that is still missing from the core that you consider a must have?

I just wanted to further clarify my earlier comment to avoid some confusion.From what I can understand, there's at least three different versions of this planned by different developers for XF 2.0. Probably one to avoid, with that in mind.
