Adding large video file to incoming folder

Permalink 1 user found helpful
I used ftp to upload a large video file (1.6gb) to file/incoming directory. Then I tried to add the video player block and chose file from upload multiple/add incoming. I can see the file is showing up in the Add from Incoming Directory dialog box but there is no selection box next to the file so I cannot click to select the file. The file extension is .mt2s. I have used this extension before for smaller files and it worked before. Any idea what is wrong here?

Will be glad if someone can help!

Thanks,
Vicky

Vicky,
You need to add mt2s file extention to "Allowed File Types" in System & Settings.
That will fix it.

Hi emrod,

It seems that even I can select the file and click the add, the swirl just keep going into endless loop and is not coming back. I let it ran for a few hours twice and the results were the same. So, the file was not accepted by C5. Not sure if the problem is the size or file format (m2ts). Do you know?

Thanks.

I think its because of the file size,
you should check php.ini file for max post size
or add these to .htaccess in your webservers root.
php_value post_max_size 2000M
php_value upload_max_filesize 2000M

Hi amrod,

Did increase the file size limit but the result is the same.
# concrete5 Version
5.6.3.1


# PHP Settings
max_execution_time - 30
log_errors_max_len - 1024
max_file_uploads - 20
max_input_nesting_level - 64
max_input_time - 60
max_input_vars - 1000
memory_limit - 128M
post_max_size - 2000M
sql.safe_mode - Off
upload_max_filesize - 2000M
ldap.max_links - Unlimited
mysql.max_links - Unlimited
mysql.max_persistent - Unlimited
mysqli.max_links - Unlimited
mysqli.max_persistent - Unlimited
odbc.max_links - Unlimited
odbc.max_persistent - Unlimited
pcre.backtrack_limit - 1000000

pgsql.max_links - Unlimited
pgsql.max_persistent - Unlimited
session.cache_limiter - nocache
session.gc_maxlifetime - 7200
soap.wsdl_cache_limit - 5

May be I need to cut down the file size.

you may need to increase max_execution_time since it may take long time to process
