So, which video hoster do we use?

For requirements I would say:
  • At least FullHD quality
  • Possibility to upload nude stuff
  • Allow embedded video here in the hub
  • "Reasonable" amount and type of commercials only

I have seen some people use Youtube, but won't they take down any "porn" as soon as they notice? Or can you work around that to make it a private video or something that is essentially hidden unless you have the link? I had been using Erome so far, but quality and performance sucks.
 
Yes I was wondering the same thing. The only supported Media sites for embedded video are below, but none seem to permit sexually explicit content (although I didnt check them all)

Seems a bit of a problem if there is no easy way to post explicit video content?

@Acid Bubbles I noticed that you have a few of what might be termed "explicit" videos hosted on imgur demoing your plugins. How long have they been up and have you had any take down issues?
 
I never had issues with imgur (all videos are private) but I'm not generating serious volume. To be honest, having animated porn videos uploaded here might generate traffic and revenue, but trouble too. Might be a worthwhile investment, I don't know.
 
I regard Imgur as a terrible hoster. They annoy with cookie non-sense (maybe in the EU only) and reduce image quality beyond recognition on mobile. Videos were limited to "gifs" the last time I tried. Do they allow proper HD video of more than a few seconds now?
 
They seem to support a pretty wide range of upload formats (including MP4) with 60 seconds and a 200MB size limit for videos. Not sure what "cookie non-sense" you are referring to?
 
I can add other sites to the embed list. It mainly requires understanding their embed format. I would consider adding video uploads here, but I need to think about it. They can be large in size, hard to moderate, and can generate additional traffic.
 
Not sure what "cookie non-sense" you are referring to?
When the user is in the EU a website is legally required to ask before placing cookies. So when you setup your browser to nuke cookies after a session, e.g. because you are using incognito mode, you have to reconfirm that with several clicks every time.
 
Well, that was easy! I was able to add a template for pornhub quite easily. Just use the link in the share tab and it will be automatically embedded now.

 
On reddit we used a lot of gfycat, but maybe porhub is better I do not know (to share videos I speak, otherwise I know this site by heart :LOL:)
 
Gfycat now working, but gfycat no longer allows adult content. That is supposed to be moved to redgifs according to them:

What will happen to adult content after May 12, 2020? Starting May 12, 2020, new adult content uploaded to Gfycat will be blocked. So to upload, share, and view this content, go to RedGIFs instead!

 
Tried redgifs without success.

About this last post here's what I see (to clarify that it's maybe a bug rather than a usage issue):

As you can see the redgif thubnail gets correctly inserted, but the actual embed looks broken (this moaning woman is the "not found" thumbnail on redgif).

It works if I use the "share" link:
Code:
https://redgifs.com/watch/honorableadorablehairstreakbutterfly

I _think_ that the issue is that redgifs uses anything before the first dash to find the video, and everything after for google search indexing. Strangely embedded doesn't deal with that, so maybe @meshedvr you could just strip anything before the first dash? I don't know if this is as easy as writing a regex on xenforo.

For now I know how to avoid that, this is mostly for other less tech-savvy future users.
 
With Gyfcat I have a little problem with the files I output as this address
https:// gfycat.com/fr/sickoilyarmyworm

And that's what it gets me if I use the links to integrate the media automatically. [ MEDIA=gfycat]fr[/MEDIA ]


And the coding of the site takes the code after the first /
I guess anyone who's not English on Gyfcat might have a problem...
I just need to change my hand. It's no big deal. I wanted to tell you in case ;)
