Hi

I have an issue and i can't troubleshoot, only can upload files less than 5Mb of size, and i need upload videos to more size.

Someone could tell me how i can change it?

Please.

Is this for DSpace 6 JSPUI or XMLUI? Or for DSpace 7?

Dspace 6.3 XMLUI

DSpace 6.3 should allow for at least 2GB based on the org.apache.cocoon.uploads.maxsize setting in webapps/xmlui/WEB-INF/cocoon/properties/core.properties

 

Lots of useful info in the discussions from an old bug resolved in DSpace 6.1:

 

https://github.com/DSpace/DSpace/issues/5724

 

If Tomcat is behind an Apache/nginx proxy, there are limits imposed at the proxy layer that you should check as well.

The version is 6.3, what I do is upload videos and then be able to have a gallery to view them. when I upload videos smaller than 5Mb they play without problem, when they are larger they don't play but are downloaded automatically. I need to be able to view all the videos as if they were all the same size.

Thanks

So, you don’t have an upload issue, but instead have a download issue.

 

You will want to increase this parameter in your local.cfg or dspace.cfg file:

 

xmlui.content_disposition_threshold

 

See: https://wiki.lyrasis.org/display/DSDOC6x/Configuration+Reference#ConfigurationReference-ContentInlineDispositionThreshold
