If you go on DeathFats and click on the recent post it transports you to page 3338 but shows the first post from the thread made in 2016.

If you try to access any other page it says "oops we ran into some problems" and "Something went wrong. Please try again or contact the administrator".

Here is the most recent page of the thread (set to jump to the newest comment, although the same happens when you click on the most recent page number in the forum index)

This is what pops up when I click on it

If you click to any other page or “first unread,” and the thread shoots this error

ok. a mod action must have broken that thread too. i'll need to write a tool to repair threads that are mangled by XenForo through any moderator action.

I’m having an issue on Tablet where when I full screen a video I can’t get out of it.

Could we please have a few more allowed file extensions? Like m4a and mkv, since the former is essentially mp4 and the latter is useful for archiving YouTube videos (it's widely supported and allows both Opus audio and h264 video).
Thank you.

I know that embedded mkvs don't currently play as expected, but they're still useful for archiving YouTube videos with an incomplete selection of codecs. I'm also planning on uploading an m4a and would really like to be able to.

absolutely fucking not you dense cunt, learn to encode shit so people can actually watch your videos. it is one fucking line in ffmpeg.

M4A is an audio format - AAC in an MP4 container (both formats already approved). I've done my due diligence and it is widely supported. And yes, I understand and encode my videos to either MP4 or WebM so people can watch them.

Every forum action triggers the Kiwiflare page. Almost impossible to do anything other than lurk. Posting requires refreshing many times. Drafts don't save correctly. No reactions work.

Do you have an extra tab hidden some where that needs refreshing? That will happen to me if i forget i had a tab open already.

ffmpeg -i audio.m4a -c copy output.mp4

It's literally as fast as copying the file because it's just copying the audio track into a mp4 container.

If you need to upload video, just re-encode it in h264/aac, since that's likely to be the most widely supported at this point. Here's what I use.

ffmpeg -hwaccel cuda -hwaccel_output_format cuda -extra_hw_frames 32 -i video.mkv -c:v h264_nvenc -rc:v vbr -cq:v 30 -b:v 0 -profile:v high -threads 2 -max_muxing_queue_size 9999 -rc-lookahead 20 -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags +faststart output.mp4

You might see some error messages scroll past, but I never bothered to figure out what they were, because the output video should play properly. If it doesn't, you probably don't have a supported GPU... in that case use the software encoder instead:

ffmpeg -i video.mkv -c:v libx264 -crf 30 -pix_fmt yuv420p -c:a aac -b:a 128k -movflags +faststart output.mp4

Thank you for trying to help, but I already know. My main point, which I should've made clearer, is that converting m4a to mp4 is something that we shouldn't have to do in the first place. There's nothing wrong with m4a whatsoever that converting them to mp4 fixes.

I'm sorry if that's just me being unreasonable, but it just feels weird that we need to do this. For context, I've spent a while making the right screenshot for the file's album cover and tagging it well, and all of that would just be discarded after converting to mp4 :(

Album art and tags are stored as data streams, so -c copy should copy them as well. If it's still losing the tags, you might need to add -write_id3v2 1 to tell it to use ID3v2 tag format.

Some browsers will balk at m4a files if you use <video> instead of <audio> to embed, so it'd really require adding a whole new tag to the bbcode editor to do it properly. It's not likely to happen.

Alright, that helped. Thank you.

And thank you again for telling me why it's not allowed. That said, why not add m4a to the list of formats embedded as <audio>, together with ogg and mp3?
