It worked exactly once, then it stopped working, I reinstalled the dev site fresh, scanned db tables etc.

I tried 6.x-2.x-dev and also some earlier releases, same problem.

I tried the patches in http://drupal.org/node/488616

YouTube video and URL video work fine

I tried wmv, and added avi to upload file types list but got the same error: "Video type not supported"

I find the files uploaded to the tmp directory.

please disable video_image and try, some times this happens when your using image_magic, we are trying to fix it.

That fixed the upload issue! But video_image was creating the thumbnails with ffmpeg. Now we will have to add them manually.

That fixed another issue too, the list of videos at /video was not working, but now it is.

BTW, my server is not running imagemagick - "The ImageAPI GD2 module is the only enabled image toolkit."

The server is running PHP 5.2.9 with FastCGI - I know that FastCGI has been a (resolvable) issue at times - don't know if it is related to this problem

What's weird is that I was able to upload one or two videos and view the list at /video, and then it stopped working.

@#5 - yes, disabling video_image module works

seems video_image module incompatible with the image module, we are working on to fix that issue.

Try disabling the video_image module will that work for you. (make sure to clear cache)

did you install the latest version of the video module, we had such a issues, now we have fixed it and shiped with beta-1, did you see videos missed after the cron run? see whether video files at the files/video directory are they missing, and see files table is there entry foe uploaded videos?

decibel.places’s picture

decibel.places commented

@#6 yes, I posted the issue for beta-1

no, the video did not show up after cron. it got as far as thumbnailing with ffmpeg but then it came back with the not supported error

the video was uploaded to the temp directory but not moved to the files/video directory

no entries were made in the db for the attempted uploads

beta-1 uploaded one (maybe 2?) videos before it broke - and I could not get it back, even in a fresh reinstall

if it helps, this is the vid I uploaded AFTER I disabled the video_image module (site is 2 days old and still in dev)

i'd tried to upgrade to the latest 6.x-2.4 version. when i'm logged in as an administrator, i'm able to upload videos with the format that i'd set at the video upload settings (eg. mp4).

but when i logged in as normal user and tried to upload mp4 file, i will receive this message:

The video conversion process has failed. You might want to submit a simpler video format like mpeg or divx avi.
If the problem persists please contact website administrators.

i'd checked my setting again, but all the formats are still there.
mov,mp4,3gp,3g2,mpg,mpeg,divx,rm,flv,wmv,asf,avi

this is what i will get if i use the previous version and logged in as normal user:

The selected file 28062009.mp4 could not be uploaded. Only files with the following extensions are allowed: mov flv wmv.
Video type not supported

while my Allowed extensions are: mov,mp4,3gp,3g2,mpg,mpeg,divx,rm,flv,wmv,asf,avi

no problem if i logged in as an administrator.

I noticed this too, testing with a .avi file - but was not a problem because I only needed to upload .wmv

FWIW I also noticed this with an earlier version, so it was not recently introduced...

Confirmed. The allowed extensions is broken for non-admins. It appears to be hard-coded in video_upload.module.

This will be fixed in the next release, but until then, at around line 400 in the video_upload module, use:

  // get extension array
  $extensions = explode(",",variable_get('video_upload_allowed_extensions', 'mov,flv,wmv'));

  $validators = array(
    'file_validate_extensions' => array( 'csv' ),
  );
  // TODO : add file size validation
  // 'file_validate_size' => array($limits['file_size'], $limits['user_size']),


  //GMM: Fix hard-coded allowed extensions
  if (count($_POST) && $file = file_save_upload($file_field , array('file_validate_extensions' => array(implode(" ",$extensions))))) { // a file has been uploaded

thanks glen!

anyone tried the fix yet? i tried it but it doesn't help. still the same problem.

glen201’s picture

glen201 commented

@sadist You have to make sure that you set admin/settings/video/upload to include the extensions you want, and make sure the user has the right permissions. Can you upload as a regular (non-admin) user any of the default (mov,flv,wmv) video types?

Also, you have to replace all the lines above -- there was a spelling error in the assignment for $extensions (was $extentions) that I fixed at the same time.

decibel.places commented

I can confirm that I am now able to upload .avi after editing the video_upload module following #19

btw I experienced the error as an "admin" user with all permissions, but not as admin/user1 - now I was able to upload the .avi file with that same user

I did not try as user1, I reserve that account for updates

Seems video conversion is failed, sheck the logs, and run the ffmpeg manually, then you can see where is the error.
