How do I add a video to my topics?
I've tried uploading a video (first of all, a 128MB limit is soo 20th century, but it's ok) and the upload fails, no info why
Then I tried to upload the video to YouTube and embed it, but I get another error because apparently some automatic checks don't like iframes or something
Finally, I've tried embedding a pure hosted video through "insert/edit media" but for some reason, the <video> tag got screwed up when the topic was published.
Can I delete that topic? Because without a video it does not make sense.
Should I even use Prusa Forums, or should I post on Reddit instead?
RE:
Like this? (below should be a video but looks like bbcode is not parsed and thus nothing shows)
In 'Leave Reply' section there is 'Add Media', then there is a tab 'Upload', find file and upload it, after upload is successful then you will see on the right bottom a button to auto add the uploaded file to the post, which generates bbcode with video url and so on.
If that does not work then:
- try to convert video to mp4 file (mabe .mov files are not supported?)
- make sure video file is small enough prior upload (I guess there may be a limit of the media size, video above is around 8MB,
and then you may need to recode it with for example resizing.
All above can be done with Handbrake that has some out-of-the-box presets (try something like Discrod-*) - just drag&drop video file, select preset, and then and press Start Encoding and wait a bit.
BTW you can report posts with explanations and mods will handle it in free time.
