    I am exploring “Postie” for it’s ability to post news events to a site. Of particular interest, is the ability to post photos and video. When photos are posted they pop up as expected. Works real well. When video is shot and sent it comes out as link on the post that a reader especially one new to the site has to know to click the link to see the video.

    If I place a link to an existing youtube video in the email. The player pops up in the post and it is clear what it is and what one needs to do to see the video. Not a bad thing.

    I need to shoot a short video of a meeting or an street interview and send it to the post. Photos appear, videos do not even thought they both go to the media file on the site.

    Is it a problem of not having a player established for the incoming video? Are there “player” plugins for posts that might solve the problem? The phone sends video in the form of .mp4. What needs to be done and need it be limited to those mails sent via phone?

    You need to look at the “Video and Audio” tab in the Postie settings.

    The default for videos is a simple link, but you can change it to other pre-sets or you can provide your own templates.
    [video mp4="{FILELINK}"]
    Might be a good choice for you, but I haven’t tested it.

    The solution you suggested, “[video mp4="{FILELINK}"]” works like a champ.

    Thanks a bunch!

    Hello

    With mp4-Movies it works using “[video mp4="{FILELINK}"]“. How to configure the plugin for .mov-Movies? .mov should work like .mp4.

    Thank you for your help!

    Best regards

    There are 2 video templates. Just set up the extensions your want to map to each template.
