Generate more compatible videos for mobile

[lijunle]

Some of my recent video conversion is causing incompatibility with Safari. Following this post, I provide the following options to ffmpeg custom options. (Notice we cannot have spaces around semicolon ;)

-profile:v main;-pix_fmt yuv420p;-movflags faststart;-c:a aac;-ac 2;-b:a 128k

I think pigallery2 should be smart and set these options for best compatibility.

Thank you! I will test it later ( sorry only in like a month). I already set some settings, i need to understand if they are compatible. Also there is an other thread about hardware acceleration.

I recently deployed pigallery 2 (latest) via docker on my synology NAS with the intention of showing back my wife's iOS photo and video backups (many in HEIC and Apple friendly videos). I, too, was having issues with the converted videos on mobile -- on iOS (safari) and Android (Firefox), I couldn't get the videos to play. On the computer, Mac (Firefox), they'd play just fine. After sticking in the code above by lijunle in the Settings > Under the Hood > Video > Output options, my new batch of videos was able to play on mobile. I'd recommend making this code the default (after testing of course).
