I shared a downloaded video to logseq on my android phone. There is now a .mp4 file in my assets folder and a link to it tagged quick capture. However, it shows as a zero length video and no controls work. I sync to my computer with resilio, same thing there. I can open the video with mpv and it plays fine.
Is there any way to tell logseq to open the video with another app, or click on it in some special way to do so?
A link marked up as
tries to open internally in Logseq, whereas
[link text](link reference)
(without the exclamation mark) tries to open in the appropriate external app.
Thanks, I just tried that. That works on my desktop just fine. On Android, instead of opening a video player it opens a page for that asset filename that just has an empty bullet point on the page. Is that a bug?
it appears to have been reported as a bug here: Logseq on Android doesn't open any pdf file or any file from assets with an external app · Issue #9064 · logseq/logseq · GitHub
Interestingly it works for a pdf file (which has ! in front of the link) but does not work for my video file. If I don’t have the !, it will go to the new page. If I do have the ! it tries to embed the video but thinks it is 0:00 length. I wonder how I could find out which video formats are supported. This is a 144p mp4.
