Hi there đź‘‹
I’ve tested this issue on the latest **WordPress 6.8.3** with the
**Classic Editor plugin (v1.6.3)** and can confirm that the problem still
exists.
When trying to insert `.webp` or `.avi` files via the “Add Media” modal in
TinyMCE, the files are not recognized or previewed correctly.
Meanwhile, the Block Editor supports `.webp` uploads and displays them as
expected.
This seems to be related to the allowed MIME types or TinyMCE’s media
plugin configuration in the Classic Editor integration.
Steps to reproduce:
1. Activate the Classic Editor plugin.
2. Go to “Posts → Add New”.
3. Click “Add Media” and try uploading a `.webp` or `.avi` file.
4. The file is rejected or not displayed in the editor.
Expected:
The Classic Editor should handle `.webp` and modern video formats similar
to the Block Editor.
If needed, I can help test or submit a patch for this.
