Video thanks & questions

This may be related to my white screen described above. I see an error message in the dashboard about missing “mime_content_type” or “finfo_file” functions. Mime_content_type is apparently deprecated. What are your recommendations for the finfo_file settings?

Thanks

Hi there mate,

firstly. The video/audio player feature is purely experimental and the supported video formats for video playback in wordpress 3.6(and higher) are: ‘mp4’, ‘m4v’, ‘webm’, ‘ogv’, ‘wmv’, ‘flv’. So .mov won’t do.

Secondly, if you upload a massive file, and it spins and then stops – possible on wp-comments-post.php right? and without any error, my guess would be, you’ve excceeded one of theese:

• max_execution_time
• max_input_time
• memory_limit

– whichever comes first, while uploading that big file. In general I wouldn’t advise to upload big files thru wordpres, that’s why it gives you option for file size limit.

The missing functions only decrease the security – because we can’t tell 100% if the file given us, named for example “hello.doc” is really a document, we can check what general upload mime type says, and the extension being “doc”, but no there are better functions in PHP to determine real mime type of a file.

That wouldn’t cause the problem tho ?? it’s the thing said above. The plugin checks if you have one of those fuctions, if not, uses general upload mime type given to it.
