WebM support?
Hey, i was wondering if WebM support was a possibility for this forum, it would really benefit all the modders who want to show their stuff without having to make Youtube videos.
Re: WebM support?
If it can't be done with an [img] tag, then the security implications of this would be too great. If there is a way to embed from alternate video hosts other than Youtube I am willing to consider it, but just raw linking of any old thing is not something I am willing to do.

Maybe consideration for Streamable as an embeddable video option? It's lighter-weight than Youtube and very useful for short clips as opposed to "full" content.
Re: WebM support?
Yeah that can be considered.

Re: WebM support?
What's the difference between the two?
Re: WebM support?
What Caligari is proposing is something that points to a fixed site, which is far less prone to abuse.
I still don't know how I feel about the site, itself, though. I have no experience with how they accept/reject file types and what it would mean if I was to point an <iframe> there like with Youtube.
The thing with <iframe>s and <object>s and <media>s is some browsers essentially treat them as essentially the same thing, which means one thing can be loaded as another. And one thing I learned in my data security classes is <iframe>s are by far the easiest attack vector for a malicious site to take over a page. While, technically, they're not supposed to allow that - why risk it? Browsers these days have vulnerabilities like swiss cheese in them - there's no need to help the attacker along in these fronts.

Re: WebM support?
For webm embedding, couldn't you just use a HTML5 <video> tag?
Re: WebM support?
I suppose that will work.
Code: Select all

Should this be retagged as [Added] now?
