not playing video #2

Closed Snarkly closed 8 years ago

Snarkly commented 8 years ago

I uploaded a music video that was a flv and it was 8.6 mb It seemed to upload to ipfstube with no problem but it will not play back the video. Here's the hash QmV8bnFzVzCAL4Yf3c9PVjue7WtNWrH5pZDCU5nQRUKmaK And when I put the hash in the search bar and click on watch I get unable to load video, took you a screenshot. ipfstube

I don't think the video tag in most browsers can play FLV formatted videos. The player is basically just a video tag with some JS to help it pick an endpoint.

As for the uploading: don't tell anyone, but it just adds the file right to the local IPFS daemon. I was going to do some kind of checking to make sure it was at least a video file, but it was easier to just proxy connections from nginx straight through. If someone removed the accept attribute from the file input they could upload any file at all, not just videos.
