XF 2.3 MOV attachments wont embed
- Thread starter 🔥Iggy🔥
- Start date
Won't work. For video uploads to be possible video uploads must be allowed.
If they are it doesn't matter if mov is in Allowed attachment file extensions, it will work regardless.
See https://xenforo.com/community/threa...es-with-opus-instead-of-ogg-extension.198727/
If uploading works but the video can't be played when embedded into a post this is most likely caused by a video codec (like H.265/HEVC) that is not supported by the browser.
Workarounds
- Don't upload videos endoded in anything other than H.264
- Upload videos in XFMG only and enable transcoding (which transcodes to H.264)
hmm well thats not great news really lol...thank you for the info tho kirby...
its not really practical to try to force people to use a site a certain way these days....it needs to be intuitive and simply work.....
i.e. there should be a way to auto re-encode, which i thought we already had enabled but i guess thats only for XFMG and not attachments
i mean....seriously? i feel like i woke up back in time...this should not be modern functionality....telling people to encode a certain way i mean they do whats on their phones.......cmon.....and they arent trying to open a second tab then try to paste the link and all this bollocks
im still not sure about this tho because the test worked fine here >> https://xenforo.com/community/threads/pdf-attachment.233175/
but not on my site....same browser/device etc.....

I totally agree that it should be intuitive and simple.
But unless someone finds a solution to the issues outlined in the following post it's simply not really possible to offer transcoding for attachments.
Unfortunately, this is pretty problematic
Transcoding does take quite some time (or in worst case could even fail), so the transcoded video might not yet be available when the user finished writing and is ready to submit the post.
What should the system do at that point?
You could prevent submitting the post until all videos are ready, but that could take an unknown amount of time and would most likely upset users.
If it's a new post it could be kept moderated until the videos are...
yeah that was a bit knee jerk reaction but it seems odd like an actual issue as the embed itself does work here on this site....
like what could prevent that insert inline button im wondering...
we can upload and we have any transcoding available configured, as far as i know...
the attachment thumbnail displays....forces download, but embeds properly here, on xf dot com....same browser/device..
