Comment on Out of curiosity, why can't A/V files be uploaded to Friendica? Seeing how image
capitan@blog.taursnd.haus 1 week ago@randompenguin @heluecht Gotcha, its not something I'd use much if all, after all I have a Loops ( vextaur@loops.video), and I usually just boost it, but i'd like to have the option. Anything specifically bad about it? I'm assuming it works the same as pictures, just the files are bigger.

@heluecht @capitan What's specifically bad about it is that there is no way to manage the files. If you accidentally upload the wrong video you can't delete it if you're a regular user. You'd have to ask the server admin to delete it for you. There's no way to set permissions on the files. It also has a tendency to fail on upload with larger files, even when they're under the file limit set by the server admin.
I spent a while digging through the code trying to add a button to the file browser so at least users could delete a file, and while I think the code to do that exists on the backend, I could never figure out how to access it and gave up.
