README.md.Expected Behavior
MP4 files should be sent to the transcription services (STT) like WAV files are.
Actual Behavior
Nothing happens. The console logs report the MIME type but not transcription activity.
Steps to Reproduce
Logs & Screenshots
The console reports the following:
open-webui | 2025-05-23 23:33:00.852 | INFO | open_webui.routers.files:upload_file:91 - file.content_type: video/mp4 - {}
open-webui | 2025-05-23 23:33:00.947 | INFO | uvicorn.protocols.http.httptools_impl:send:476 - 172.18.0.1:47372 - "POST /api/v1/files/ HTTP/1.1" 200 - {}
This is what the UI looks like after the file is transmitted:
Additional Information
I believe I see where this issue is occurring. Should we make this list customizable with a setting with delimited MIME types to force transcription on?

@NoMoreFood anything on this, were you able to make any progress here? We are also stuck here
@NoMoreFood commented on GitHub (Jun 3, 2025):
@arunbugkiller Nothing yet. I was thinking maybe that the code should call something like supports_transcription() function that would conditionally make a decision based on the STT provider (providers could support different MIME types). I was hoping for input from others though.
@arunbugkiller commented on GitHub (Jun 4, 2025):
@tjbck Would be really great if you can throw some light here
@tjbck commented on GitHub (Jun 8, 2025):
Agreed with customizable mime types for STT processing, PR welcome!
@NoMoreFood commented on GitHub (Jun 9, 2025):
Alright, I'll put in something this week.

Thanks!
