Currently we only support images, but it would be *awesome* to support videos and audio. There's been some preliminary work on transcoding audio to Ogg Vorbis on Android, which we could probably rig up on iOS as well, but for video it's probably not feasible to do WebM encoding in software on a relatively slow ARM processor. Native support for ingesting MP4 and AAC would simplify audio and especially video upload as well. Even if this happens separately from playback, it would be very valuable. -- brion _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
