MP4 video files not detected properly

[calliauc]

Sync-in already allow to visualize pictures, but it would be great to integrate a video player to.

Edit : the test was with a .mp4 video file

Hello @calliauc , that’s already the case, you can test it on the demo site (demo.sync-in.com): just open the file sample.mov.

Hello,
There is indeed a video player that works with .mov files.
I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it. My apologies

But I first tried with an mp4 video, without success.

After you mentionned it, I tried with .mkv and .avi files, and then encountered this error.

HTML5 player support :

Format	Supported	Notes
.mp4 (H.264/AAC)	✅ Yes	Most compatible, works across all major browsers
.webm	✅ Yes	Good complement for Chrome and Firefox
.ogv	✅ Optional	Supported in Firefox/Chrome, less common overall
.mov	❌ No	Compatibility issues outside of Safari/macOS
.mkv	❌ No	Not natively supported in most browsers

MP4 videos should play correctly, but I noticed a detection bug on the Sync-in server.
If you rename your file with a .mov extension, it works.
This will be fixed in the next release.

fix in Sync-in/server@4df92a5

Thanks for your reactivity !
I see you already renamed the topic

Also I tried on another browser
.mkv files are correctly played on chrome-based but not on firefox.
I'm just sad about it 😕
