Title: Can’t load video
Post by: SusieQ on July 20, 2020, 03:18:37 AM

Okay sorry y’all....

I had a short 18 second MPG video compress to 1.5gb and it said it wasn’t an MPG...I check and it is an MPG. I have tried for the last hour.  :-[

If I can submit it any other way let me know and I would be happy too  :D

Yes, you can.  :)

In the event, after you post the link, that the link states "invalid YouTube link", just insert a third / after the https: bit, and it will work fine.   :)

Hey @SusieQ


The software doesn’t like big files I’m afraid. I’ll check it out sometime, but where you can it’s best to use YouTube :)

Whilst we have 200 GB of server space. We’d run out pretty quick with too many files that size :)

I completely understand.... and storing data isn’t cheap.

I think I got it figured out.... I posted a new post topic called “Tank time to watch the fish”

I hope others will post videos in there to help us all relax.... I love watching fish swim.

Hope you have a blessed day....

PS.. If the video doesn’t load... close and reopen it.   :)
