This may be related to my white screen described above. I see an error message in the dashboard about missing “mime_content_type” or “finfo_file” functions. Mime_content_type is apparently deprecated. What are your recommendations for the finfo_file settings?
Thanks
Hi there mate,
firstly. The video/audio player feature is purely experimental and the supported video formats for video playback in wordpress 3.6(and higher) are: ‘mp4’, ‘m4v’, ‘webm’, ‘ogv’, ‘wmv’, ‘flv’. So .mov won’t do.
Secondly, if you upload a massive file, and it spins and then stops – possible on wp-comments-post.php right? and without any error, my guess would be, you’ve excceeded one of theese:
- max_execution_time
- max_input_time
- memory_limit
– whichever comes first, while uploading that big file. In general I wouldn’t advise to upload big files thru wordpres, that’s why it gives you option for file size limit.

The missing functions only decrease the security – because we can’t tell 100% if the file given us, named for example “hello.doc” is really a document, we can check what general upload mime type says, and the extension being “doc”, but no there are better functions in PHP to determine real mime type of a file.
That wouldn’t cause the problem tho 🙂 it’s the thing said above. The plugin checks if you have one of those fuctions, if not, uses general upload mime type given to it.
