hmm, there's no way to embed a video in an itch.io devlog without putting it on youtube or vimeo? that sucks. i was thinking of doing roundup posts on there but i don't want to have to upload every little video to youtube just to get it to embed :/

[h5e@tech.lgbt]

@eniko I think you can embed unlisted videos

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@h5e yeah but i'd still have to go through the hassle of uploading them all

and they'd have ads and shit :/

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@eniko @h5e is it possible to embed a peertube video? At least those would be without ads.

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@oblomov @h5e i'm just uploading thumbnails and linking to the videos on mastodon :|

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@eniko @h5e I mean, that works. And it's even a way to spread the Fedi 8-)

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

i seem to be able to add a video in an iframe but i can't get it to show in a size besides tiny. trying to increase the size only increases the width and not the height :/ also, missing a fullscreen button

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@eniko can you add manual HTML?

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@oblomov ish. it doesn't seem to accept some things

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@oblomov honestly it should just accept a video element with a source src i don't know why this is so hard

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@oblomov holy shit i did it! i removed the <source> element and instead added the url to an src attribute and *that* worked

[eniko@mastodon.gamedev.place]

holy shit i did it! the trick is to put this in the raw post html

<video src="your mp4 link here" controls=""></video>

not

<video controls><source src="your mp4 link here" type="video/mp4"></video>

because it'll filter out the source element for some reason

[oblomov@sociale.network]

@eniko oh so It might just be the HTML scrubber not knowing about some newer HTML5 elements. Might be worth reporting to the itch devs
