XF 2.1 mov file embed?

[tonmo]

Should .mov files embed when my users upload them as an attachment? My forum is only showing them as an icon. Is there a setting somewhere that can automatically convert these into an embedded format when the user uploads, without having to download?

It works for me here: http://29a00b86549fbbe5.demo-xenforo.com/212/index.php?threads/test.1/#post-2

Can you try uploading the same file to that thread?
You can use test/test as the user name and password.

"oops we ran into some problems"

I just noticed it's 27MB so it will be too large for the demo.

Can you try embedding this one on your own forum: http://file-examples.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/04/file_example_MOV_1280_1_4MB.mov

If it works on your own forum then that confirms the basic functionality is okay.

It's therefore likely related to the size of that specific file.

If the XF option values are set correctly/high enough, it may need some server option values changing.

I checked my php.ini file, and max sizes are far higher than this file (I had configured this previously). Also, when I tried uploading to your test forum, the response was "Oops," but on my forum, it posts, but with the icon. Any other clues what would cause xenforo to allow an upload, but render it as an icon, based on file size alone?
