Webm/GifV

[Mack_au]

Are these filetypes supported? Neither seem to be from my quick test on my own site.

They are coming pretty common (example, 4chan uses webm as a replacement for gifs, and Imgur uses gifv) and it would be handy for them to be supported as they get even more popular.

I had a media plugin thing for gifv on my old 3.x install, is it coming to 4.x?

Gifv is supported. Gfycat is also supported since IPS 4.0

Odd. When I copy in the direct image url it doesn't work :/

@Mack_au It's an embed mechanism, so you need to use the post of whatever you're linking to.

In the example, it is:

webms are not supported on iOS so gifv is better or a video file is better.

Ah okay. I don't really like embedding things like that for pictures, I'll just work around it.

Thanks

From what I've noticed I don't think you're going to find it convenient to continually facilitate the use of imgur as lazy image hosting. They seem pretty intent on being a platform in the shape of Facebook, Twitter, etc.

I see that this thread say .gifv is supported but when I paste one it doesn't embed, is there a special setting that I need to enable?

Same here. Found this searching for how to embed gifv.

Poss try checking your Allowed File Types and Allowed File Extensions settings in AdminCP - Posting section. There is one in Settings for Downloads too.
