Can we upload videos here? I tried doing so, it seemed to gladly take my file at first, showing its usual spinning animation, but then it just stayed there.
Looking thru the network devtool, I noticed it silently had the 400 error for the very HTTP POST request responsible for the upload. In the response, I found:
{
"error": "unknown",
"message": "Request error: error sending request for url (http://pictrs:8080/image): operation timed out"
}
It would be great if I could upload some videos, but otherwise I would totally be cool if it at least tells me that my upload have failed instead of just quietly failing in the background while the I wait in uncertainty.
when there are errors returned they should be getting displayed to users, if that isn’t happening that’s a lemmy bug.
the timeout indicates that the upload was too much to be processed in a timely manner. shorter or smaller videos might work better.
Any way I can follow up on this? I honestly wouldn’t mind altering the file, but having vague output can be detrimental, especially with a lot of non tech savy users.
