Can’t it be used as a replacement for the infrared port (if the phone doesn’t have one)?
Everyone has had that experience as a child where your friends loudly call you to go out for a walk, but your mum says “He won’t go out, he has homework to do!”.
What a great cat house! 😍
2·6 months agoWhat about video support in your app?
I only noticed after your comment that the crumbs almost got in the dog’s eye 😅
Along with this video, I posted another vid I uploaded to another hosting service. Where do you think he disappeared to? It was removed by a moderator because he didn’t like the link to another hosting site.
Did the kind owner leave some food for fluffy?
Thanks for the screenshot. I don’t have a working laptop right now to check how Lemmy works on PC. I didn’t realise that the display of media in the mobile and desktop version could be different. Probably because some people don’t use the mobile version there is a misunderstanding and they don’t understand what we are talking about.
However, the problem with displaying videos in the mobile version has been around for a long time. Also, after clicking on the dark square that is displayed instead of the preview, you are prompted to open the video in a new tab as if you were opening another site.
YouTube previews are displayed normally. I suppose this problem occurs only with direct links, example www.site.com/827474/mycats.mp4
As you saw in the screenshots, for the test I used direct links to videos uploaded to reddit and the x0.at service.
I did the test in two different browsers and in two different instances. I’ve also read in the comments under various video posts that other people are also discovering this problem.
If you enable the “PC version” setting in your mobile browser, it looks like this

Just a black square.
Reuploading the video anywhere else would take a ton of time and why do it?
Are you serious?
This is what it looks like in Jerboa https://pixshare.de/images/iLzOo8.jpegHere’s what the video display looks like on web instances.

I would like to add that we are talking primarily about the ability to insert a direct link with a video located on a third-party service. To do this, you need to display previews/thumbnails, which are not available now.
I may be wrong, but I don’t think it will require a lot of additional resources.
Users can save videos to their cloud services, such as gdrive, and insert a direct link to the video when creating a post.
I don’t think that displaying previews of videos hosted on third-party services will take more resources than previews of gif images.
The old gif format doesn’t support audio. Anything called gif with audio are mp4 video files. On the imgur site, you may have seen files with the extension gifv, but…
Quote : “When you view a GIFV file on a website such as Imgur, you’re viewing a video file, which would normally have the file extension .mp4 or .webm. The server is configured to serve the video using the extension “.gifv,” but the video’s file format is unchanged.”
Lemmy’s web instances do not display real videos. Also some applications, like Jerboa, do not display videos. Because of this, you have to convert the video to the outdated animated picture format - gif.
This format appears in all applications and web instances, but does not contain audio.
I think if we all flood the developers with requests for video support in Lemmy, things might change.
