I would like to know that, Is it challenging to support MP4 files with a maximum size of 10 MB within the structure of fc:frame:image or even a new fc:frame:video?

It's surprising that frames support GIFs but not MP4s! GIF files are very low quality and outdated.

We need mp4 format support within the frame. :)

It's complicated.

Warpcast presently utilizes a proxy to issue the request for image data/interaction calls to prevent frames from capturing IPs passively of users. Proxying small images is a different problem space from proxying streaming video.

Also, video file formats have unique problems – MP4 is a container format, meaning many codecs may be at play, and some codecs are more safely built than others. It wasn't that long ago that Apple closed a vulnerability on one of the various video codecs, and if you go a bit farther back in history, a pretty massive one _even if you followed the spec properly_ for audio formats.

I'm very for video frames, but doing it will require a lot more care than yoloing a video tag

These ideas are all great, but I think the structure doesn't allow it.

@compez.eth what do you think .. should FIDs be allowed to also upload content to a frame ? Image .. FIDs mic (voice recording) or video ...

Video streaming codec would be a good idea for frames

Thought the same and was eagerly waiting for this to ship at some point
