MP4 files don't seem to be supported on Moralis

Moralis General
#1

I am able to upload mp4 video files successfully, but when I retrieve the url the video file doesn’t work.

below is an example of the warning in the browser console

Media resource https://tsrzbkh6m7ho.usemoralis.com:2053/server/files/P7hMVncXus2BveENKvy3joJJDKwxm98ver3qUj2D/976246b6c42a125f71a900028780bf70_video-content.mp4 could not be decoded, error: Error Code: NS_ERROR_DOM_MEDIA_METADATA_ERR (0x806e0006)

If you visit the url directly https://tsrzbkh6m7ho.usemoralis.com:2053/server/files/P7hMVncXus2BveENKvy3joJJDKwxm98ver3qUj2D/976246b6c42a125f71a900028780bf70_video-content.mp4

you will get this:

Are video files not supported on Moralis? It seems like they aren’t.

#2

Try to upload them on ipfs, or if you already did that, try to get the ipfs url from the result.

#3

Yes, that works, but for this use case I don’t want to use ipfs because I want a delete option.

I was hoping I could use Moralis files to get this prototype out the door more quickly and then later implement something more robust. It looks like I will need to implement something using a storage provider. I believe I can do that using the Moralis cloud functions. I will make some sort of upload endpoints to my storage service.

#4

Something like Cloudinary or ImageKit is suitable for this sort of use case. Both for example have options to use a REST API endpoint to upload media.
