@cos Nope seems to work fine.. perhaps your uploading a bad file of some sort?
@freemo 500 is a internal server error and it never should be returned to client. Bug in Mastodon server maybe? What do the logs say?
@cos can you email me the file your trying to attach so I can recreate the error, thanks.

@freemo The video file can be downloaded here: https://matrix.hacklab.fi/_matrix/media/r0/download/hacklab.fi/ZRTGYtLxtrgYymuIsShkGYwW
@cos oh if your trying to upload videos that may be why. I dont think that file type is supported. You have to use https://video.qoto.org (which speaks activity pub so will show as a status you can boost here).
@freemo Mastodon supports video clips fine. Here's an earlier example of a working clip from the same source. https://qoto.org/@cos/105555820640228324
@cos at first glance it looks like a filesize limit error.. It appears its limiting file size uploads to 4 megs
@cos i will try to fix this by increasing the file limit size when i get a chance.
@freemo Thanks. Too large file should give a clear error instead of internal server error. 4 megs is very little for video clips - for example twitter has 512 meg limit. For Matrix servers default size limit is 100 megs. Naturally Mastodon is not right place to publish long videos.
@cos yea, though we have a dedicated video service that integrates with mastodon that we prefer people to use because it has a shared-bandwidth model so saves us costs on larger files. But I agree 4 meg is a bit too small.
@freemo sounds like bug in Mastodon. Even uploading a broken file should not show 500 internal error to user. I got a new camera installed today so in future the video files will be different.
