In reply to: [Postie] Help with posting a Video or Audio file (not embedded)Got it, thanks! FYI, I uploaded a video from my iPhone wordpress app, then checked the sourceode it used to properly display the video with the controls. I copied that into postie and tested by sending an email and it works! Below is the code (at least for MOV/quicktime which is pretty much exclusively what I’m using). Thanks again for helping me figure this out!
<video src=”{FILELINK}” controls=”controls” width=”640″ height=”360″>Your browser does not support the video tag</video>

In reply to: [Postie] Help with posting a Video or Audio file (not embedded)oh, i just found that if I double-click on the video, it will start playing. double clicking again stops the playback. still no controls though. hmmmm….

In reply to: [Postie] Help with posting a Video or Audio file (not embedded)Good news, bad news!
Good news: the videos are now posting via email after i added “quicktime” as you suggested.
Bad news: there is no way to ‘play’ the video. there is a scroll bar on the bottom so i can manually drag it to see different points in the timeline. clicking on the video doesn’t do anything. there are no video control options displayed.

In reply to: Cant embed MOV video files into postThanks for your response and yes, it looks like there are many options to choose from but all of them require to use some code each time you post (e.g., copy the code template, edit for specific media file/location, set height/width, etc). This is a bit more manual than I was hoping for.
I’d like to just add the file in a more automated manner. Ideally, it would be great to just be able to email the video and have it auto-post.
I can’t see non-technical bloggers having to follow this method, especially if they regularly share videos.

In reply to: [Postie] Help with posting a Video or Audio file (not embedded)FWIW, I just added the MOV file using my chrome browser and it is also inserting the video as a link. It only adds it as an embedded video when I upload it using the WordPress app from my iPhone!

In reply to: [Postie] Help with posting a Video or Audio file (not embedded)Thanks, again. I just sent you the email with a small (2 MB) MOV file, originally without any text in the body of the email. This time, I included the link to this forum as a reference in the email body.
Also, one additional point to note is that I have not yet setup the CRON job for postie to auto post emails. Instead, after I’ve sent some email(s) to postie, I am manually clicking on the “RUN POSTIE” button and I can see it has found the pending emails and it processes them.

In reply to: [Postie] Can't change DATE of blog posting via email keywordThanks. I just sent the same email I tried before but I added a reference URL to this forum thread.

In reply to: [Postie] Help with posting a Video or Audio file (not embedded)Yes, I changed the setting in the “Video and Audio” tab from ‘link’ to ‘large’ for video and the preview looks good but it still doesn’t work.
Yes, the Preferred Text Type is set to PLAIN.
FYI – the videos post properly when I post them using the WordPress app from my iPhone.
