Webm and Gifv support

user9

Has anyone developed a way to embed webm and gifv videos in threads?
Really need this for a board.

Best regards
Jakob

I can't be the only one who wants HTML5, MP4, video playback.

Is there any way to do this easy?

How do you want them embedded?

Are you uploading the video to a service?

How about using imgur as an example? This sort of format:

edit: it works! here at least, but on our own forum running Vanilla 2.2 it doesn't unfortunately

@blizeH This forum runs the hosted version of Vanilla which is ahead of the open source version of Vanilla.

If you are feeling saucy, this is the file/method that has imgur and wistia auto-embed support: https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/e56b12ce0ff4c96743ac52247ef1baf67b91d244/library/core/class.format.php#L1193-L1435

Thanks @hgtonight !

Have to say that a lot of that is way over my head, so I'll wait and hopefully see it in an official version soon

Theoretically you would just need to copy over the following lines:

https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/e56b12ce0ff4c96743ac52247ef1baf67b91d244/library/core/class.format.php#L1252

https://github.com/vanilla/vanilla/blob/e56b12ce0ff4c96743ac52247ef1baf67b91d244/library/core/class.format.php#L1313-L1327

A better method would be to hook into the format_links_handler via a plugin and do those replacements on the event argument.
