The /api/admin/ghosts endpoint returns raw DB rows (webm_path,
webp_path, image_path as bare filenames), not the public API's
camelCase URL shape. buildGhost now reads those and prefixes /uploads/,
so WebM video renders in the preview instead of falling through to the
procedural wisp.
Camera-background single-ghost preview reusing the hunt's render path
(WebM VP9+alpha VideoTexture -> WebP/GIF -> procedural wisp). Login gate
matches admin; ghost list via JWT-protected /api/admin/ghosts. Dropdown
to pick a ghost, sliders for distance/size, camera toggle.
- openGhost() previews stored media, preferring WebM video over still image
- showPreview/hidePreview swap between <img> and <video> elements
- Live local preview on file pick (handles mp4/webm)
- Ghost-table row thumbnail renders <video> when only a WebM exists
- Widen file input accept to include .webm/.mp4
- Add a <video> preview element alongside the <img> preview
- Update label and help text to mention server-side MP4 conversion
- Detect VP9-alpha WebM support once at load; iOS Safari falls back to <img>
- addGhost prefers data.webm via THREE.VideoTexture (browser-decoded, no
per-frame needsUpdate pump) when supported
- On video error, gracefully swap the billboard to the GIF/image texture
- Pause + release ghost <video> elements on capture and on hunt teardown to
avoid leaking decoders
