Endless Video file uploading

Uploading big .mov video file (about 200MB) stuck at Loading... stage forever.

No any uploading files found in the sub-dir ...\flash\modules\video\file.

Uploading file size in php.ini is set bigger enough for such file size.

Any suggestions?

Hello!

As i remember Flash still has limit on upload as 100MB. Except upload and post max size need to check - execution time of PHP and response time of MySQL (check all settings with '_timeout' name's end).

 Hi, can you explain in simple english, I also have the same prob. I figured that flash has a 100 mb limit. My max upload is 300 mb in my cpanel.

"- execution time of PHP and response time of MySQL (check all settings with '_timeout' name's end)."

could not figure out the above.

Leonids:

Thanks.

After modification of the parameters you pointed in the php.ini. The big video file uploading and cron job are functioning.

There are new files n.flv, n.jpg, n.mp4, n.mpg and n_small.jpg in sub-dir /flash/modules/video/files/. But video will not play when

clicking the thumb nail picture. It stuck at "Video is being processed" and status bar showed "Done".

Help for this last step is very, very needs.

The settings we mentioned are in php.ini file.

This topic has been discussed endlessly. Here is apost that might be of some help:

I never was able to break the 100 MB limit. I now have a dedicated server with Arvixe. Once I get it loaded up, I'm going to try again when I have more control over the server settings.

The Leonids' help is useful.

I reset post_max_size and upload_file_size to 1024M and 10 times all the _timeout variables in php.ini.

I uploaded and converted a big .mov video file (about 1G size) OK, but it didn't play from group video album

with message displaying "video is been processed" forever. I downloaded it to my local PC and it played fine

with flv player. Any suggestion?

I have no idea. I never solved it. I think there is still a limit on the server you aren't aware of or something to do with the RMS itself. I think this problem is going to take someone with abilities far above my own to solve. All we have to do is get them to listen (wink)

The video not play problem is fixed. Now it play OK from my group video album.

The remaining issue is the video quality, it looks to bad even I set to 85%, 20fps and keep the original quality from admin panel.

This is because compressing ratio is to bigger from about 900M .mov file to about 55M flv file. I would get bigger flv file to keep

video quality.

Here is the modifications I did in php.ini to make bigger video file working on the site.

Set upload_file_maxsize and post_max_size to 2000M;

Set memory_limit to 256M;

Set variables ending with _timeout 10 times original size, but I didn't test about time out settings to the video uploading.

Hope this will help anyone with the same problem.

Thanks Leonids for the help to fix my issue.
