[Feature Request] Support for video formats

[Rubecks]

Currently, you can make animated banners with gif and animated webp and png files. But gif is generally a low quality format, and webp and apng aren't very popular, so most of the time you need to convert them beforehand. The ability to use mp4 and webm files with autoplay and loop enabled would be much simpler.

mp4 can be converted to webp using ffmpeg:

$ ffmpeg -i video.mp4 -vcodec libwebp -lossless 1 -loop 0 -preset default -an -vsync 0 -strict -1 output.webp

There are few online services that can do similar conversions too.

Oh that's an interesting one. Currently it supports image formats only, but I'm intrigued how well that can work. Autoplay should work fine if muted and without controls, so I'll get back to you on that when I get to it.

Though for file size purposes (and more so if you're using a cloud service like Obsidian Sync), the conversion of mp4 -> webp might work better for now
