[Feature Request] Support for MP4 upload #125

Open mpsijm opened 5 years ago

mpsijm commented 5 years ago

Based on the discussion at mpsijm/gyazo-gif-for-linux#3.

Gyazo GIF for Windows produces high-quality animations, because it produces MP4s instead of GIFs.

Combining Gyazo-for-Linux with GIFs is possible (as discussed in #17), by recording a GIF with e.g. Byzanz and passing the resulting GIF to the gyazo command.

However, passing an MP4 file results in an error:

This error seems to come after the MP4 file has been uploaded, and therefore looks like a response from the server.

seconded/confirmed. animated GIF is usually much bigger than a MP4 file of the same quality.

Could someone with Windows inspect how Gyazo uploads its MP4 files? Maybe some parameters or headers are missing in the upload request.

gabsoftware commented 2 years ago

The public Gyazo API seems to accept images only. I remember seeing a different host when uploading GIFs on Windows (gif.gyazo.com), I am not sure it would be useful to upload MP4 files. As of today, uploading a MP4 file to upload.gyazo.com will result to a "Not an Image" response.

We currently don't open API to upload mp4 as same as GyazoGIF. We know that you need mp4 uploads on Linux. We will endeavor for making you uploading mp4 but we cannot promise when it's done 🙏
