Where to put video files

[Mitch Berkson]

I have some self-hosted video files. I tried putting them in a videos directory (similar to images directory), but the browser looks for them in the output directory (as it does for images). It looks like Nikola copies the images to the output directory but it doesn't put the videos directory in output. Is there a suggestion for how I can handle this?

I guess that's a silly question. The videos can go in the images directory.

The easiest way would be to put them in files/videos/ — this will be
copied to output/videos/ verbatim. You could also configure videos/ as
an additional directory for files. I'm not sure if putting videos in
images/ is the best choice, as Nikola may try to generate thumbnails
(and fail miserably, since only images are supported).

Make sense. Thanks.
