Facebook and Twitter are great because you can upload videos and you can play them without having to leave their site. I understand why Mastodon doesn’t allow you to upload videos to other peoples servers. But what about an embeded video feature?
Something that when you post it, you can actually watch the video without having to leave. Has this been in the works at all? This would be a great feature for sites like Soundcloud as well. Or pratcially any embeded media.
Since a link looks ugly in the post. But an actually video with its thumbnail looks elegant, and the thumbnail alone can entice others to watch the video.
how ?
I found no explanation for how to do it, neither in the github repo nor in the discourse forum.
I tried this oembed method but it doesn’t seem to work any better than copying the embed link from youtube.
hi, i have the video thumbail in my pouet ( for example a youtube link ) but when i click on play, the thumbail become grey. nothing appear. any ideas?
From Chrome, a text says requests have been bloqued due to an extension ( same as private mode too )…
I’m guessing this is a problem with your CSP header. You should make sure you’re using the CSP policy that comes with mastodon, and not a more restrictive policy.
@Saper Hi, you could don’t respond if you whant to … say nothing ^^ Thanks for futures questions
@Nightpool : Thanks a lot. You allright . the problem is solved by removing " default-src ‘none’; " in mastodon.conf ( from Nginx Sites-enabled ) in the line "add_header Content-Security-Policy " . Everything works now. Thank you sir.
