I'm not sure where my feature request went (or if it even got submitted), so I will try again. I really love your module. It allows school teachers to break the chain of the .Mac/Quicktime web sites and use PCs to make videos. In order for us to succeed, the Flash Video module must be able to accept videos that are FTPed to the server. Right now, I have an issue. My PHP upload limit is only 2MB, but my video is MUCH larger than that. As of right now, I don't see a way for me to point Flash Video to a file that I already uploaded.
I hope that this can be accomplished sooner than later (although this isn't a demand!)... I would like to be able to get a pilot video site up and running for my entire school district this summer during my vacation. Do you think that there is a possibility that this upload feature might be added by July?
Again, this isn't a demand.... I just think that this would be a really great feature for all of us who aren't chained to the Mac/Apple environment....!
Great job overall!

Try adding the following values to your .htaccess file, in the root of your Drupal Instalation. You should be able to put it next to all the other php_value parameters. This will change your php.ini file to accept large uploads. Then you won't have to FTP the files.
php_value upload_max_filesize 100M
php_value post_max_size 100M

I have a couple of these tickets in the flashvideo module area. I am closing this one. This issue can be resolved through changing upload limits on the PHP side... either in PHP.ini or .htaccess (depending on your server). More information can be searched out here.

Hi Travis,
I am seeking a similar solution. I need videos to be FTPed to the server. From there transcoded and placed in a separate folder for streaming on the Drupal site. The original file should be placed in a separate folder available for user downloads. Any suggestion how I could achieve that. It would be also cool to have a upload manager implemented (in case of connection failure) and a upload progress bar.
Looking forward to your respond.

umm..this seems actually what the Flashvideo module does already:
. uploads original to a ftp folder (progress bar already in core upload.module)
. converts flash video to another output folder
. gives a link to download video
only thing that seems missing is the 'upload manager', even if i'm not too shure about what you mean here. Eventually this would be a separate feature request, please open it if the case, thanks.
