Adding mp4 and m4v video files

Hi, I'm using the video feature and have an issue with uploading the correct file. and have followed the instructions as per : https://www.mojoportal.com/using-the-audio-and-video-players

I understand that I should be using m4v .files .The only way I appear to be able to get these onto the server is by an FTP.

I have increased neatUpload to comfortably upload the files and can do so with normal images and MP4 files but get an error saying the file has moved if I try to upload a .m4v file .

The m4v file I create are made only by changing the file extension on the mp4 files i produce. I guess that this is not best practice, however they do get to play one transferred to the server by ftp.

I had to change the file mime type as per https://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&mid=34&ItemID=5&thread=10231&postid=42635

So the issues is either how to upload m4v file or how to get mp4 files to play.

Any suggestions

Re: Adding mp4 and m4v video files

Looks like the solution is to run the mp4 file through a convertor first (I used Handbrake). This shrunk the file considerably, however was still a MP4 file.

But this time if I manipulated the file extension to m4v it is able to be uploaded and it dose run.

Cheers
