I made a little video of my time in Colorado last week, from short video clips and live photos. This is also a test of potentially longer videos on Micro.blog… I cheated to upload this because the file is bigger than the current limit.

Live photos would be great to see on the timeline. BTW video upload is not yet enabled in the new 3.0 version, right?

@manton It's working well on Micro.blog (assuming it is intentionally square), but it doesn't appear properly when subscribed on Mastodon (at least not in Ivory on mastodon.social)…

The post has an attached video, but it doesn't show or play.

I wonder if it's the instance unable to cache it due to size or something…

@ryanbooker Interesting. If I view it on Mastodon on the web, is says it's not available but I can click and download the video. (And yeah, intentionally square.)

Manton Reece

@pratik Right, video will come back to the app later.

Ryan Booker

@manton I just tried that, and it works… I wonder if it's not surfaced in the API or whether @Ivory, and maybe other cilents (?), don't follow some particular redirect or something?

Matthew Bogart

@manton Just a heads up, this is how it's showing on my Mastodon timeline.

maique :prami_pride:

@manton Not showing on Mastodon, at least not with Ivory/Mona.

Pratik

Any way to upload video in the meantime?

Manton Reece

@pratik Yes, you can use the web version of Micro.blog, or in the app from the Uploads screen you can upload from Files too.

Pratik

Thanks. I hadn’t realized you could that with the Files location

Manton Reece

@maique @ryanbooker @matt It appears Mastodon has a 100 MB limit for videos. I assume it refuses to cache it on the instance and so it can only be downloaded, and Ivory doesn't know what to do.

Manton Reece

@z428 Can you explain more about what you're trying to do? Importing into a blog, or following someone on Pixelfed…?
