[V@no]

yes, u need add needed mime extensions (seeing in the error message)  into includes/upload_definitions.php

[jeddx]

I have added the line in ..\includes\upload_definitions.php

Code: [Select]

$mime_type_match['3gp'] = array("video/quicktime");

and it works fine

thank you very much

I did the same, but it doesn't work, has anyone got an idea what to do now?

[mawenzi]

all the same ... ?

- extensions list in APC
- icon
- media file template
- upload_definitions.php

and it doesn't work ... ?

and when people learn that saying "it doesnt work" - is one of the most useless explanations ever!

[deenee]

ok, in detail.

The new line in includes/upload_definitions.php:

Code: [Select]

$mime_type_match['3gp'] = array("video/quicktime");
New file in templates/{my_template}/media, content:

Code: [Select]

<!-- Template file for 3gp Movies -->
<embed src="{media_src}" border="0" width="240" height="240" type="application/x-mplayer2"></embed><br />
Tried also these two:

Code: [Select]

<!-- Template file for 3gp Movies -->
<embed src="{media_src}" border="0" width="240" height="240" type="application/quicktime"></embed><br />

Code: [Select]

<!-- Template file for 3pg Movies -->
<embed src="{media_src}" border="0" width="240" height="240" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/"></embed><br />

Added a new icon in templates/{my_template}/icons and added the extension to the ACP (it is shown as allowed when you want to upload something). And about a week ago I added another extension (.zip, .rar or anything like that) and it worked fine.

And trying to upload something now, I got this message:

Fehler beim Upload der Bild-Datei:
02-09-05_1303.3gp: Die Datei hat ein ungültiges Format (3gp, )

... I dont know how to solve this. Maybe somethings wrong with this 3gp.html file?

There you go! now we have enough information to try to help

As the topic in the FAQ explains, you must add the proper mime type into upload_definitions.php
Sometimes one mime type is not enough due to many possible variants dependend on the file format. Usualy the "missing" mime type could be found in the error message when uploading file.
In your case:

02-09-05_1303.3gp: Die Datei hat ein ungültiges Format (3gp, )

its little tricky, because it shows "empty" mime type, so the the final entry in upload_definitions.php for this extension should be:

Code: [Select]

$mime_type_match['3gp'] = array("video/quicktime", "", " ");(just in case I added third mime type as a space, probably you dont even need it).

P.S. I'll update FAQ topic with info about this kind of "tricky" mime type.

Oh, perfect, thanks! Works fine now!

can someone please help me, I am going mad trying to get this 3gp video files to work.

I have changed:
upload definitions
settings in ACP
icon
3gp.html template

this is what my 3gp.html template looks like (which I borrowed from another member on this forum)

<!-- Template file for 3gp Video Files -->
<object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" height="165" width="180">
       <param name="src" value="{media_src}">
       <param name="autoplay" value="true">
       <param name="controller" value="true">
       <embed pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" src="{media_src}" type="video/quicktime" height="165" width="180" controller="true" autoplay="true">
</object><br />

when I go to the page for the video file it just shows a blank page, no errors.

please help, thanks.
I have done a search but there is very little info on 3gp files

[viper357]

thanks for looking V@no 

[V@no]

I see the page alright, but since I dont have the player I can not tell if its playing the file or not...

[viper357]

I think that is the biggest problem is the player. It's not playing on anybody's computer.

Oh well, I will just have to convert the .3gp files into .mov or .wmv for now.

Thanks for trying to help V@no
