Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Roland Tanglao needinfo please :rolandtanglao, :mohnkuchen, :adobo, :sinigang, :roland]

Steps to reproduce:

1. https://support.mozillamessaging.com/en-US/gallery/images#upload
2. Click on Video
3. Try to upload an 8MB webm video like this one:
https://github.com/rtanglao/tb31upgradevideo/raw/master/tb31-tb11-upgrade.webm

Result:
Uploading "tb31-tb11-upgrade.webm" is displayed but the video is not uploaded

Gozer: I guess this is a web server config issue, e.g. perhaps httpd.conf?

What a shame ! This is a great video. 
Isnt't there a way to host this video somewhere else, i.e some FTP or even DropBox ?

Quite possibly hitting an upload size limit server-side yes. SuMo isn't the best place to deal with large content like that. Couldn't you just upload it somewhere like YouTube and link to it ?

Two reasons why YouTube is not optimal:
1. They re-encode the video which might make it a wee blurry
2. Not sure if I YouTube embed HTML works on SuMoMo

Anyhow, I'll try uploading to YouTube and embedding in SuMoMo but would prefer a SuMoMo solution if one is possible

1. I've posted the video to youtube:

2. I don't think you can embed youtube in SuMoMo 

3. :gozer if you can't get this to work, just set the status of the bug appropriately. It would be nice to be able to do 8-10MB videos somehow!

Uploads up to 16Mb should be working now.

Thanks Gozer I can now upload 8MB files, win!

But the videos don't play in Chrome or Firefox Nightly on Windows
I'll file a separate bug for that and mark this one as verified.
