​https://prnt.sc/vvcywo :- why not show video + css issue

[sabernhardt]

The video does not show because the .mov format lacks support.
Default supported video formats are mp4, m4v, webm, ogv, and (currently) flv.

For the Twenty Twenty-One theme (and Twenty Twenty), the link is not centered like most content because it's only the link inside the entry-content. The link has no block element to be its container, where the max-width and auto margins would apply.

Twenty Twenty-One: unsupported video link on attachment page

Twenty Twenty: unsupported video link on attachment page

Code solutions

function custom_wp_video_extensions($types){
    $types[] = 'mov';
    return $types;
}
add_filter('wp_video_extensions','custom_wp_video_extensions');

Can we add default format list in wordpress or not?

function wp_get_video_extensions(){}

\wp-includes\media.php

wrapping unsupported video link with paragraph tag

[sabernhardt]

Interestingly, the block editor does allow embedding MOV files, and they play for me in Windows browsers (Firefox, Chrome, Edge-Chromium, IE11). So it's not consistent within WordPress.

I still recommend converting video files to MP4 rather than using the filter to allow a less-supported format on individual sites.

For the issue of how the unsupported media links display on attachment pages, I'd prefer to address the link itself instead of theme-by-theme edits (returning ticket to the Media component). Would wrapping the link in a paragraph tag be acceptable? Twenty Twenty and Twenty Twenty-One would center the paragraph (with margins, not text-align).

Test Report

Description

🟠 This report partially validates that the indicated patch works as expected.

Patch tested: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/51929/51929.diff

Environment

• WordPress: 6.9-alpha-60093-src
• PHP: 8.2.28
• Server: nginx/1.27.5
• Database: mysqli (Server: 8.4.5 / Client: mysqlnd 8.2.28)
• Browser: Chrome 137.0.0.0
• OS: Windows 10/11
• Theme: Twenty Twenty 2.9
• MU Plugins: None activated
• Plugins:
  • Test Reports 1.2.0

Testing Instructions

1. First enable attachment pages in /wp-admin/options.php > wp_attachment_pages_enabled
2. Add a video. It has to be an unsupported video file ​like a MOV file.
3. Go to Media Library and set the GRID VIEW (yes, this is something that always blows my mind and wastes 15 minutes of my life)
4. Click in the video > View Attachment Page. This is technically the same as just editing the video and clicking on the Permalink, but for some reason some people like using the "View Attachment Page" route
5. 🐞 No video appears but a link, and it's not centered (Using my setup, 2020 theme, have not tested all themes)

Expected Results

1. 🟠 For the OP, he was expecting MOV to show up despite being a unsupported video format
2. There is another issue, the centering that has to be solved.

Actual Results

1. 🟠 Unsupported video file showing is not solved
2. ✅ Centering resolved with patch.
