What are the media rules for mastodon? If I want to post an MP4 with no video content, only audio, what do I need to do to not get generic 500 error?
Ok I understand that, but I can post videos with audio and it's fine
And Incan post videos with no audio and it's fine
But if I post a video with no video stream, everyone loses their mind
Sub 8megabytes, check. Compatible MP4 filetype, check. What am I missing??
@Mainebot There are no audio-only uploads. Insert a black frame or something.
I think there might be a github issue on this you could 👍
> What are the media rules for [Mastodon?]
only items allowed are pngs, jpgs, gifs and mp4s *with a video channel*. 8 MiB max.
gifs converted to mp4s on-demand. mp4s with no audio understood as gifs.
@Mainebot unfortunately, masto doesn't allow audio uploads yet
