   Hi! Sorry if I post in the wrong category.
   I have one problem with the upload:
   -when the admin upload .flv file it uploads, but
   -when author upload .flv file it says "Unrecognized file type."
   How can I fix this problem? Thanks!

   I fixed it myself - open functions.php from includes folder and fint the formats of the files. Add there this code 'flv' => 'video/x-flv', and you are ready to upload!

   For those looking for a cleaner solution that is free of upgrade issues, drop this into your plugin directory and activate it:

   <?php
   /*
   Plugin Name: FLV Hack
   Plugin URI: http://www.someplace.com/
   Description: Quickie FLV hack/fix.
   Version: 1.0
   Author: Someone
   Author URI: http://www.someplace.com/
   */

   add_filter("ext2type", "FLV_Hack_ext2type", 10, 1);
   add_filter("upload_mimes", "FLV_Hack_upload_mimes", 10, 1);

   function FLV_Hack_ext2type($filters)
   {
   $filters["video"][] = "flv";

   return $filters;
   }

   function FLV_Hack_upload_mimes($mimes)
   {
   $mimes["flv"] = "video/x-flv";

   return $mimes;
   }
   ?>

   This does the exact same thing as editing functions.php to add FLV but without requiring you to apply the same mod to the WordPress core - plus it shouldn't break even if WP includes this in the future. (The question becomes: Why isn't FLV already in WP?!)
