Was just coming here to report the same thing, can't attach an mp4.
Mp4 is a known issue. For some reason some mp4’s download as “weird” mp4’s which aren’t accepted here. Here’s a fix:
There's a magic command for taking any video of any format. Got a MOV? Got a weird MP4?

1. Download ffmpeg.
2. Use the magic command. This works on Linux (if installed via package manager) and Windows (as .exe if you've moved your command line to the same directory).
ffmpeg -hwaccel auto -i YOUR_VIDEO_DOT_ANYTHING -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -crf 22 -preset medium -c:a aac -strict experimental -movflags +faststart -threads 0 OUTPUT.mp4

You can also use the -vf scale=-2:720 parameter to scale it to a certain size. 1080, 720, 480, 360 are common ones. The -2 scales it to the nearest even number (which is a requirement for the MP4 container). You can swap the dimensions, i.e. -vf scale=1280:-2

The less important the video is, the smaller you can scale the video. If it's totally irrelevant just make it 360p and call it a day. This is the easiest way to reduce video size. Don't fuck with the audio, audio is more important almost always.

Full version with scaling:
ffmpeg -hwaccel auto -i yourvid.any -c:v libx264 -pix_fmt yuv420p -profile:v baseline -level 3.0 -crf 22 -vf scale=-2:720 -preset medium -c:a aac -strict experimental -movflags +faststart -threads 0 output.mp4

The problem was persistent but seems to be resolved, or at least it's working on my end now,

That wasn't the problem, I tried uploading images I had already successfully uploaded and posted beforehand and they weren't working either.

Yeah, it got resolved.

I would love to be able to get proper error codes back on my browser.
It's so annoying having browsers replace the actual error with a generic panel.

Hi,
New Heterosexual here, sort of. I've been lurking here for years. Since before most of you were born, child.
Just joined so I can keep track of the ever shifting URLs.
I know we're on clearnet at .st now but what's the address for TOR?
Will I get an automatic email when it changes? I am an old foggey IBM DB2 and Oracle on ZLinux DBA so this internet stuff frightens me. I don't want to use Telegram or any of the other potentially Chicom infested software.
Please do the needful.
There's no telling when Rikeita's leather wine moms will hire someone to get KF moved again.
