    Uploading video

    I'm trying to upload a video into the Media section, setting the media type as File, but after selecting the flv file and clicking the save button, the edit page fails to load.

    How do you upload a flv or f4v file type into the Media section of Umbraco backend?

    Hi Sean

    Do you get a YSOD?

    There should not be a problem with uploading flv files in Umbraco.

    However these issues could be the cause.

    1) The maximum file-size is greater than what is allowed by default in asp.net applications. I think the default is about 4MB.

    2) The mime-type is not recognised in IIS - This could very well be the issue in your case if you're using an older server.

    Hope this helps.

    Thanks @Jan. I had to increase the file size limit to get it to work.

    Hi Sean

    I'm very glad to hear you were able to move on. It can be frustrating when one forgets about the upload limit :-)

    And sometimes servers just don't know the filetype dependent on their age and configuration.
