   I want to use the uploader to upload a .ogv video file, however I keep getting the error:

   File type does not meet security guidelines. Try another.

   Is there anyway to add add this file type?

   Hi,

   Check with these plugins:

   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/kaltura-interactive-video/
   http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-video-pack/

   If your uploaded video does not work then make sure that you have added required MIME Types on your hosting account.

   Thanks,

   Shane G.

   There's no way to do it without a plugin? Couldn't write a function to define a new mime type or anything?

   Thanks for your help!

   maybe I think? (added to your theme functions.php

   add_filter('upload_mimes', 'my_custom_mimes');
   
   function my_custom_mimes ( $existing_mimes=array() ) {
   
   // custom mime here
   $existing_mimes['ogv'] = 'video/ogg';
   
   // add more if needed
   
   // and return the result with new mime
   return $existing_mimes;
   
   }
