I have searched these Forums for an answer, maybe missed a prior thread on this topic, but...
I want my users to take a movie with their phone and directly post it via the NewTopic or Reply. For photos, it works fine using the Insert Image, Share Photos, or Upload Attachments features. But Insert Video or Upload Attachments for a video does not work (an Invalid File error).
I have added the file extensions to include .mp4, .mpeg, .avi, etc and removed file size limits, but still get the same error.
I realize my users can paste a URL from YouTube, but my site is medical and some of my users do not want their content on YouTube, even if tagged as Private.
At present, I am testing video on my site by loading the .mp4 into my DropBox or Google Drive and then utilizing the Insert Video BBCode. However, there are performance and compatibility issues I am finding when testing on different browsers. Also, this forces my users to have an active DropBox or Drive account, which not all of them want.
I am willing to host these large files on my ISP outside of the MySQLi database, but can't figure out how to get the users to upload, and link to, such files.
Any thoughts...
