@staticsafe Can you do me a favor? I have a .webm file that plays fine in browser, but when I try to upload it to Mastodon I get a "500 Server Error". Can you try to upload it and report what you get in the error logs?

I got down a rabbit hole trying to create an oEmbed endpoint that Mastodon would inline. Hasn't worked yet. I should probably come up from that rabbit hole and do some higher priority things first.

I've found the media_attachment model:
https://github.com/tootsuite/mastodon/blob/master/app/models/media_attachment.rb

Defining audio types there looks straightforward in enough. What I have no idea how to even begin doing is making it render an <audio> tag in the timeline for inline playback.

Forgive me, I am not a developer.

Hold on... we've got all these fancy gadgets now... why hasn't anyone programmed a system so when you walk into a dark room you can exclaim "Aziz, light!" and the lights come on?
