mp4 video file won't upload?

[eluser]newbie boy[/eluser]
since like i had set-up all necessary things needed to upload an mp4 video file... like...

for the mimes.php in the configuration, i added this...

Code:

'mp4'   =>  'video/mp4'

for the .htaccess, i put this...

Code:

AddType video/mp4 .mp4

on my upload controller i got this...

Code:

$config['allowed_types']     = 'mp4';

but still everytime i upload a mp4 video file, this is still the error...

The file type you are attempting to upload is not allowed.

appreciate the help guys...

thanks...

double check the mimetypes, like jpg I assume there is more then one mime depending on content. (audio, video, application). Check what mimetype the file is you try to upload.

Hi,

Check the mime types on your web server it may not support it.

i was getting a similar error, cause de server ( i think... ) added '\"' or '"' to the filetype , so i did this

Code:

$_FILES['user_file']['type'] = str_replace('\"' , '' , $_FILES['user_file']['type'] );

    $_FILES['user_file']['type'] = str_replace('"' , '' , $_FILES['user_file']['type'] );

not elegant...but it works

-----------

Also before that you must check your mime types in

Code:

application/config/mimes.php
