You probably know this but the blog breaks with https everywhere.

Tumblr doesn't support HTTPS, unfortunately. HTTPS Everywhere will need to update the 4chan config to account for it.

I think it'll be in the new release; there was a ruleset freeze to work out kinks for quite some time.

> I feel 4chan has become the 'porn' industry of the internet. This is the most flattering thing I've ever read about 4chan.

It's kind of hilarious how much easier it is to summon moot on HN than on, say, 4chan.

HN is pseudonymous, 4chan is mostly anonymous. Probably moot simply isn't a tripfag.

Moot, fix the mime type of those pages. On Android it opens the new url on the browser and only when the browser got the file header it calls the video app to start the download again. I'm pretty sure there are ways for the link to go directly to the video app

We already send the proper MIME type:

  Content-Type: video/webm

Are you going to be using this tumblr blog instead of /news from now on?

Not instead of, but in addition to: http://blog.4chan.org/post/81891220996/reintroducing-the-4ch...

Hey, could I suggest something? For the inline expansion, it would be neat if it played automatically without needing to click, just like an animated GIF:
You could also maybe hide the controls, they can be distracting (you could always add an option to enable them):
EDIT: Thanks for fixing it!

OP's link is 404ing and moot's won't connect at all for me. There's no way HN took down 4chan. Anyone have additional info/a mirror?

HN mods should probably update the submission URL to this one: http://blog.4chan.org/post/81896300203/webm-support-on-4chan

And you need to disable HTTPS Everywhere for blog.4chan.org since Tumblr doesn't support HTTPS :(

One problem I have is that there is no way to set format priority which would override page order. And because of some Apple's stupid bugs in Safari most pages list mp4 first. Current Firefox already supports mp4/H.264 through gstreamer, so it always picks that first even if WebM is available.

I'd prefer to set some option of "free codecs first".
