$config['allowed_types'] = 'flv';

$config['max_size']    = '10000';

return;

}    

else

{

...

echo $uploads['file_ext'] give me .flv but i get all the time error of
The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed

what is wrong? if i change allowed_types to jpg and upload jpg works. Problem is only with flv

EDIT

i try this

Code:
// For Debugging

echo "Mime uploaded: ".$this->upload->file_type."<br>";

foreach ($this->upload->allowed_types as $val)

{

echo "allowed: "; var_dump($this->upload->mimes_types(strtolower($val))); echo "<br>";

}

and i get

Mime uploaded: application/octet-stream
allowed:

boolean false

FLV is not included in system/application/config/mimes.php.
You can fix this by adding this to the mimes array:

Quote:'flv' => array('video/x-flv', 'application/octet-stream')
