Hello

I am looking to use html5 video,
Is there a way to upload video files (mp4) in processwire ?

Thanks

Create a new field:
type:  file
allowed extensions: mp4 webm ogg

Or if you want a solution for generating poster images and providing an easy play option, check out: https://github.com/adrianbj/FieldtypeVideo

@maxf5 and @adrian thank you

FieldtypeVideo seems the easiest way, but i want to "autoplay" and "loop" the movie, so i think the "file" field option is the most suitable.

The video fieldtype can do autoplay and loop - take a look at the Mediaelement API (https://github.com/mediaelement/mediaelement/blob/master/docs/api.md). You can also completely replace the video rendering code in the settings of the module with another player if you'd prefer. Not to say that a normal files field isn't fine, the Video fieldtype just makes it easier to manage videos in the backed because it creates images, shows the length of videos, and a few other things. Really depends on your needs as to what will be best.
