Bookstack: Video and file upload
It would be nice to have the ability to upload videos and files. You could use the same file manager and just allow those type of files too. For files, maybe we could use the file manager to upload, and then use the link option to insert it as a download option.

Thanks, for myself this is the solution i needed, but not for my users. But for now it is all i need. Thank you
If I do this on my project, just like you did in the video, the video is not loading... only difference between our videos are, that mine is in .webm format...

Can a file be uploaded without it being shown on the sidebar? I would like to upload some PDFs and just have links to them throughout the pages.
Thanks.

question is what acutally is playing the video, and hence what formats are possible? is it some integrated js-player, or is the browser actually nativly playing the file?
i've also uploaded an mp4 file, but those are just containers certainly.

Hi there,
We're pretty much decided on using Bookstack, but attaching custom videos will be important for us. Just a bit concerned about hitting a situation where some videos mysteriously fail to play. Anyone know what the state of play is with this issue?
