title: How to force a file (mp4) to transfer from github to readthedocs
body: <p>I have a repository on github:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://github.com/springer-math/Mathematics-of-Epidemics-on-Networks" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://github.com/springer-math/Mathematics-of-Epidemics-on-Networks</a></p>
  
  <p>Within it there is a file </p>
  
  <p>docs/SIR_2dgrid.mp4</p>
  
  <p>which contains an animation I want to appear in the documentation at readthedocs (specifically at this page: <a href="http://epidemicsonnetworks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Simulation_Investigation.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://epidemicsonnetworks.readthedocs.io/en/latest/Simulation_Investigation.html</a>)
  Additionally, there is a file </p>
  
  <p>docs/Simulation_Investigation.rst</p>
  
  <p>which codes that page and tries to refer to that mp4.  I've tried lots of variants (attempting to replication instructions at <a href="https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sphinx-users/_z00m3zoRAY/Ryx4D5sxgtcJ" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://groups.google.com/d/msg/sphinx-users/_z00m3zoRAY/Ryx4D5sxgtcJ</a>), but no luck.  The only way I can get the mp4 to appear on the desired readthedocs page is to link to the mp4 on github (but it's got a bit of a delay loading, and isn't perfect).</p>
  
  <p>I cannot seem to get readthedocs to copy over the mp4 into a directory where I can make a relative link to it.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get readthedocs to copy over that file to a place I can link to?  </p>
  
  <p>Alternatively, is there another way to embed video in readthedocs short of putting that mp4 up on another website?</p>
