The discussion revolves around uploading large video files (over 500MB) to a Discourse site. Timelord reports an error message suggesting to use external hosting for large videos, despite being able to upload large images. The issue is addressed by Falco, who directs to a guide on changing the max attachment size, confirming the same setting applies to both images and videos. Jagster questions the configuration, noting the setting appears in two places and expressing confusion about the underlying technical setup, comparing it to WordPress/PHP environments. Falco clarifies that both settings must be adjusted and that the admin UI description references the other setting. Jagster acknowledges the need for minor edits in app.yml if larger limits are required in the future.
Hey team.
I was wondering if there is a way to override the setting that stops me from uploading large (500+ MB) video clips to my site?
When attempting to upload, I am told that I should use a hosting service for these clips. However, that is not something I want to do. So back to the question, is there a way to override the hard limit?
I am not sure that is the setting. I can upload large images without issue, but for video, a message pops up recommending to post on YouTube or the like.
I am remote right now, but I can get the exact error when I get home.
You must follow the guide linked above for it to work.
Really? Same setting in two different locations and both must set up with same size?
Yes, exactly that. Also worth saying that the description of the one visible in the admin UI mentions it the other one.
Is this solutions because of rails/docker/something else? Yeah, I don’t understand how things are working because I’m coming from WordPress/PHP-world 
Well, my app.yml doesn’t have that option but it is just minor editing job, if I need bigger limits someday.
