Seems it removes the html marks.

blah -- I apologize for the trouble.

Hhmm....  Where did you see that error message?  I don't see it here.

It says "your browser".  But I think you probably wouldn't be posting unless you thought the problem was with the forum.

We accept videos from around 100 sites.  I don't think framadrive is specifically a video host, is it?  I embed mp4 videos, which I've uploaded to the server, but they have the .mp4 extension on them.  If you could find the exact file name, which has the MP4 extension, I would guess it would be embedded.

By "html marks" do you mean the <video> tags?

Meanwhile, I'll find out if there's an upgrade for the mod.  Maybe framadrive has been added.

Ooohh, I see.  It's not an error message.  That's the code you tried to use 

HTML is not allowed in forum messages.  Think what trouble that could cause!

But I think if you could find a way to get a url with the mp4 extn, it would work.

Edit -- But I'll still look for an upgrade.  Maybe framadrive has been added?

[brynn]

No luck on upgrades - we're all current.  But I found at least the file name.

curved_stacked_boxes.mp4

I guessed at a couple of URLs, but no luck.  Can you find the URL?

[brynn]

I don't think it's possible to get the URL with mp4 extn.  I think we'd have to get framadrive added to the mod. 

Afaict, the mod devs will add more sites, but it looks like they are asking $15.  Although the way the info is worded, that could be a misunderstanding.  If anyone has the right skills (I guess PHP) they might welcome others to upgrade it -- I have not investigated that far yet.

At this point, our choices are -- investigate having framadrive added to the mod; or -- use a different video host.  Vimeo is one of the choices.  I guess I could make a screenshot of the list, if you'd like to see the possibilities? 

[Moini]

Wow, those are lots of options. I'll stick with posting bare links, though, then I still have full control over the files I uploaded. Thank you for investigating, Brynn!

My pleasure
