Testing the new upload feature. A lot easier 👍
Size a bit too big???
Mods - feel free to delete this or leave it for others to try for the first time.
Now try a video 🤓
Most of mine are iPhone .mov files which I believe aren’t compatible.
Edit: I’m looking at various converter programmes to convert .mov files. Some are free but I don’t want to get into the old Photobucket situation when after using it for a while they try to blackmail you into paying for it with threats of deletions.

The images auto size to the width of the message area.
I suppose in some cases that's a bit of a pain if the image is taller than it is wide, but it stops the problem we had on the old site with the images being too wide and bursting the seems and mucking up the rest of the page.
Video upload - Being the sites official deviant, I hope you will use this feature sensibly 😂
That's right, .mov files are not natively supported but I can get ffmpeg onto the server and get the conversion done there. I just wanted to get image upload done for the easy formats first so it could start to get used.
I WILL get .mov conversation done as there are so many iPhone users, might even do it tonight. Welcome to Premium ❤️⭐

It's on the same row as the Bold, Italic etc icons when you write a message / PM BUT it's only visible to Premium users. It's one of the perks of contributing to the site.

@Onslow - Well down for mastering the tech 👍 (I assume you had your wallet in your left pocket when taking that photo, somethings heavy enough to put you off balance!)
@Vossy - 'Brain bleach' in the post...

Test to see if uploading a .mov file will work, fingers crossed...
In reply to Post #15
Sorry the videos a bit boring, but it served it's purpose for testing.
I'll do some more tests to ensure it works.
That 12.3MB video took about 9 seconds to convert.
I have set the size limit to 50MB for the moment.
If the video takes a while to convert (50MB of 4K HEVC or whatever) then a 'placeholder' image will be shown until the .mov processing has completed. I've not tested that yet, will in a second with a bigger file.
Then, once the .mov is processed the placeholder image gets replaced with a thumbnail from the video and the video should then play.
The video conversion process fires every 1 min, so there will be a little delay sometimes.
Other video formats don't need conversion so they are instantly available for use in your MyUploads area for insertion into PMs/Messages
I told you I would try to get it done today 👍

Test with a bigger file of 46mb
In reply to Post #17
Well, that worked too. 46mb video took just under 10 seconds to upload.
Markup code was inserted into the post so I submitted it.
Placeholder image was there and on my other screen I was watching the server.
I was lucky and the scheduled task fired with a few seconds and the file was converted very quickly, under 10 seconds again.
So I hit refresh on this thread and the place holder was replaced by the thumb nail of this video of a mate...and the video plays/works 👍
Testing complete - on to the next site upgrades! 😎
EDIT: You no longer need to refresh the thread if it's showing the placeholder, once the video has been converted the placeholder gets swapped out for a video thumbnail. That's more intuitive and nicer user experience.

See if this works. If it does it’s Mabel’s 13 seconds of fame.
It does indeed work 👍
I use my iPad and on the old site the italics function didn’t work, making it difficult if I was copying something to reply to
Likewise strike through 🤣
Well done Karlos 👏👍

Hello Mabel.
Do you take her fishing with you? Looks like a bit of policing might be required!
My dog was very well behaved except if there was water to jump in or sheep to piggyback. I miss him, I'll get another when I am older/retired and have enough spare time to ensure he has a good outdoor life.

Nah, she’s really well behaved and mellow. Likes to wander around but never leaves my sight.
OK, I guess that’s the new picture loader fully tested 😎👍
ps: just toggled Dark Mode and love it. Also messing about with the order of posts ( newest first/ oldest first ) but can’t seem to remember what I had before ( only nigh on 20 years of use and can’t remember 🤯)

It's a video from 2009 and apparently despite it being an MP4 file it's internal encoding is all 'old school'
I have just amended the code so that these old MP4 files are found during upload and then added to the same conversion queue/process as the apple .mov files 👍
I'll go upload again and see if it works!
EDIT: Done, and it works (thank goodness) 🙏
