Is there a way for when a user uploads an mp4 or video it shows a player function and not just a link to download the video?
Not talking about sharing a one box link but a direct upload of an mp4.
Handling videos is a lot of work. You are better off using a dedicated video sharing service and linking to it.
Nothing that’s integrated with it? Or ideas on how to set it up? Some fight videos I want to host that streamable and sites with exception of live leak don’t delete automatically.
It already works this way, try uploading a short mp4 clip and it will work fine, as you can see here:
You’re simply going to run into upload limits because videos are HUUUUGE. Upload those clips somewhere that specializes in hosting video and then link to them, like everyone else does, which also provides a built in player .. 
Given embedded options, isn’t it better to upload on video sharing site like youtube instead?
Doesn’t need to add extra layer of unnecessary censorship too…
-edit-
Plus it allows much bigger videos without storage strain 
Thanks @codinghorror. I guess my older forum I stopped trying cause a few times just gave me links to download only. I’ll give it a shot today.
@OrcaFrost I wish but I was on a Reddit sub similar with what I wanted and about half of the top videos were deleted. I just hate when I click on links to watch a video and it’s gone. That’s what I was trying to prevent. I know Reddit subs started making mirror bots but sometimes those are deleted also and Reddit is so large the quality of what’s posted is bad.
I’d hate to cost more then I needed too especially for such a small site project but I really hate dead links if I can avoid it. And LiveLeak is a rabbit hole I just don’t want to go down linking back too lol
Worked perfectly! Thanks!
Can I tack a support request on to the end of this thread?
When I click the upload button here on Meta, and upload a MP4 video, it does not transform my link and leaves it as:
https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/8/e/8e88d0b77c6b9eafff95c0c6c444aa2f6dba856c.mp4
And it embeds a player 
However, on our Discourse v2.2.0.beta10 +16 when I upload a video it replaces the link and turns it in to an attachment of sorts:
<a class="attachment" href="//greyarrows.s3.dualstack.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/original/2X/8/8e88d0b77c6b9eafff95c0c6c444aa2f6dba856c.mp4">20181207_M62_Vehicle_Fire.mp4</a> (2.9 MB)
I’m guessing this is a setting we have changed somewhere.
Question is, does anyone know how to undo / fix this?
To answer my own question, this setting was enabled:
prevent anons from downloading files
Unticking it then allows uploaded videos to be embedded with a video player.
간단한 질문인데, 현재 비디오에 포스터 이미지 속성을 추가할 수 있나요?
(참고: 저희 인스턴스에서 Wikimedia Commons의 비디오를 지원하고자 하는데, 비디오의 첫 번째 프레임이 미리보기로 표시되는데 외관이 좋지 않은 경우가 많습니다. 따라서 HTML 비디오 포스터 이미지에 깔끔한 이미지를 추가하면 큰 개선이 될 것입니다.)
이 설정은 модератор(모더레이터)도 접근할 수 있나요, 아니면 관리자만 접근할 수 있나요?
모든 사이트 설정 변경은 관리자만 사용할 수 있으며, 모더레이터에게는 사용할 수 없습니다.
샘, 고마워. 질문하기 전에 이미 답은 알고 있었지만 확실히 하고 싶었거든. ㅋㅋ
제 문제는 moderators로서의 제한과, 다른 업무로 시간이 다 쓰이는 administrator 역할, 그리고 필요하지 않은데도 관리자 대시보드에서 이것저것 검색해서 간단한 것(설정이나 기능 변경, 새 카테고리 생성 등)을 해야 하는 귀찮은 요청을 처리하고 싶지 않은 마음이 겹친다는 거야. 가끔은 답답할 때가 있어.
확인해줘서 고마워.
