Can't get the Media Datatype to work

Tuesday 19 June 2007 4:56:17 am

I downloaded the Media Datatype for 3.8.8 and I am able to successfully upload videos. Although they don't play, at all. Neither from the admin nor from the customer side. The files in question are .wmv files for Windows Media Player

When I pull up the page in question it shows the video object with the controls, but it won't play. When I right click and click on the object and select Error Details I get the following:

Windows Media Player cannot find the file. If you are trying to play, burn, or sync an item that is in your library, the item might point to a file that has been moved, renamed, or deleted.

If I right click and select properties the location is the following:

[...]/content/download/82/308/pptoverview.wmv

Which if I paste directly into the address bar does not work. The file is uploaded I checked relavant directories.

Any Help?

Thanks,
Jason

I've confirmed that the following file exists only after I upload the wmv file within the admin section:

./var/shop_site/storage/original/video/706af36ab93aa24944611ed990d69d4e.wmv

But it cannot be accessed based off of it's attempt as:

[...]/content/download/82/308/pptoverview.wmv

I get a 404 File not Found

It's an Apache 404 error

I am using a method of removing the index.php reference from the URL. I am using the httpd.conf method though so I don't believe that a mod_rewrite rule could be interfering since there weren't any additional rules to add.

Is there any chance that it is causing an issue?

I don't know anything about the Debug stuff, I just started using eZ Publish.

Duh, I removed the wmv reference from my httpd.conf virtual hosts declaration. Everything works fine. Fixing it this way will just require me to put all Media Files into the Media Library before they will play. Good problem to have anyway for organization.

Thanks,
