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.

Rocking & rolling 😂😎

Should change your name to Neo 😂😎

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.

Edit - video now loading and playing ok

In reply to Post #22
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) 🙏

That dog bivvy is the absolute nuts!

Oops didn't see your reply, yes all working fine here now, nicely done again 👍👍

Premium really does make it so easy to stick pictures up now.... not even a test 😂
