Posting Video Links

[Gary]

Sometimes, posting videos on this board is confusing and frustrating. There appear to be limitations as well. Here is a link for a video which I cannot figure out how to get working -- https://img-9gag-fun.9cache.com/photo/am77XXv_460sv.mp4

Yeah, I can't get it working right now either. Maybe huggle can figure it out.

Neither the filetype MP4 nor the site cache9.com are on their respective "allowed" lists for the unified tag BBvideo.

Either is easily fixed, but that's a decision for a Higher Mind than mine.

Can you poke the Bear?

I looked up the meme "pole the bear". I had to go pretty deep into the dark web to find any substantial discussion of it. My advice: you don't want to know.

I gave the board an ok for all available video formats in posts and attachments.

A test with [windows]video tags (that's the button with the light grey camera, next to the youtube button) works for me now. Can someone confirm that? (It might be that it only works with my PC's video settings: I ordered it to never use Win but VCL player for videos and it obediently switched to VCL and displayed the mp4 movie)
Here's the one that works for me:

The BBVideo tags don't work for me which might still be my fault - I am not very familiar yet with the Admin controls of this board software

Yes, that works, and it even works with "https," not just "http."

Fat-fingered typing. :oops:

It doesn't work for me.
