Video upload file types

[TommyG]

Hi

I'm trialling a demo site but having trouble uploading a .3gp video. Could you please tell me if it's me or is a .3gp video file not supported? Also, are Iphone videos supported?

Thanks

Tom

There should be settings that let you change the allowed file types in the admin panel.

Yes, done that and it accepts the upload but puts in the post as a downloadable file not a playable video.

These are video file types which are supported:

Hi Brogan

Thanks for that. Are we saying then that even if I add .3gp to the allowed attachments it will not upload properly or play as there is no supoort in the software to play it?

3gp seems to work in the media gallery when you add the extension to the allowed file types, but not as video in threads.

I can't get it to work in the media gallery either but perhaps that's just the demo site not doing it. Thanks for your reply and your time checking it.

I believe the FFmpeg option is required to permit additional video type transcoding.

The demo doesn't support that.

Ah, thank you

@TommyG I temporarily allowed the 3gp extension here and uploaded a test tile.

It's still transcoding but it should demonstrate that it's possible.

Does anyone know if this is possible also from Apple stuff - Mac and Iphone using it's HEVC file extension?
Thanks

Edit. Ok now I think. Just found how to change the settings to mp4 on an iphone.
