Hey guys, working on a video hosting feature for imgtc and possibly a future platform dedicated towards it. Right now it's pretty simple and I'm just trying to get the codec working universally for everyone. Here's a demo video: https://imgtc.ws/w/NskM8PL - if you'd like to let me know if it works or doesn't work for you and the type of device you're using such as phone/computer and the browser, that would be huge. Thank you very much everyone

That's something I'm trying to implement.

Testing

https://imgtc.ws/w/BclfoN3

Yup, it all works good. I wonder if GameFAQs could support embedding these in posts like it does Youtube videos?

IIRC GameFAQs supported ImgTC's MP4 and WebM compatibilities the first time, probably just need to bring it up to @SBAllen

For me, the page stuttered like I was holding f11, the video was stretched out, and it failed to load beyond the initial image. I'm on the latest version of chrome if that means anything.

From a practical standpoint, how are you going to cover the need for massively more storage space to support video in terms of hosting costs? Are you just going to eat it, or do you have a plan to keep from going the eventual IMGUR route of disabling direct linking because you need ad revenue to stay afloat?

@tullock Is the only difference in the URL the inclusion of the /w/ directory after the imgtc.ws bit? We currently embed imgtc videos provided the file extension is in the URL and is gifv/mp4/webm.

Testing again. I right-clicked and copied the direct URL. Let's see if it embeds.

https://imgtc.ws/uploads/HcAhG3UJJCMpGAM9.mp4

It embedded with ImageFAQs (it even played the sound once I moused over it) but not with GameFAQs built-in embedding.

It's a bit different from image embedding, the url extension is different from the file name but I can change it tonight to keep them the same, I'm sure that will make it much easier for embedding.

Is there any way to also add just plain audio support?


I can certainly incorporate that.

The rate I'm making with adsense is going to run the site at a decent profit. Absolutely never going the imgur route!

I think I'll have to fine tune the thumbnails to keep the same aspect ratio of its parent video.

Whatever you choose to do works for me. Just let me know what the structure is so we can get that up and running here. :)

Me too, it's great. Had family from Charleston visiting the last couple days so I wasn't on here much.

Would having direct links such as

https://imgtc.ws/uploads/HcAhG3UJJCMpGAM9.mp4


embed, and having indirect links such as https://imgtc.ws/w/* keep it as the regular page layout? Gamefaqs is going to be the only website that will be able to directly embed any video uploads from imgtc

This shit isnt going to auto play and there will be a way to tell that its video/audio before clicking on it right? Asking for myself and all of my mobile data homies

To me, the optimal setup would be that the ImgTC videos are treated just like Youtube videos are now: they embed, but they don't play until you click the play button. Also, if it's possible, having sound muted by default until you raise the volume yourself might be helpful too.

They will be setup to autoplay on computers but not on mobile devices. Having it set to be muted or not when it starts playing is something that can be changed as well, depending on what folks would like.

Yeah that's what I'm leaning towards. It's profoundly annoying to have videos autoplay with max volume when you click on a link
