Upload mp3 in media manager

[sammy sumer]

Hi everyone

I have searched a whole day and still can not find a solution.

Can anyone please tell me how can I upload an mp3 file in Joomla
1.5.20

I have added mp3 in the legal file extensions and I have also added
audio/mp3 in MIME type field.

But I always get the File type not supported error.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

[Sam Moffatt]

I added the text ",mp3" at the end of the legal extensions list and it
appeared to work fine in 1.5.22 when uploading. Without that it
doesn't work. Perhaps check there isn't a space at the end of put an
extra comma afterwards (e.g. ",mp3,") to ensure the explode works
fine.

Cheers,

Sorry to hijack a thread, but it does follow along the lines of using
MP3's in the Media Manager.

I'm working on a component where I'm trying to use the media field type to
work with uploading and selecting MP3's. Looking at the code, it appears
that the view being pulled up by the media field only works with images.
Is there some way to make this work or would I need to hack away at the
appropriate com_media views to do what I am trying to do?

Thanks,
Michael

Can you create a new thread with more detail because just reading that
I have no idea what you're talking about.

The problem here is the canUpload function in the Media helper class
which is the thing that AFAIK issues the invalid type error preventing
upload along with a few other checks. It shouldn't occur if the file
extension is in the legal or ignored file extensions list however that
clearly isn't the case.

One thing to try is to ensure you do it as a super administrator as
some of the checks are bypassed for admins (e.g. if you can install an
extension you don't need to be prevented uploading a otherwise
legitimate looking file even if the sniffers don't think the mime type
is a match). This check should be immune to that override however but
it might be worth a try if you haven't done it already.

Sam

I have a super admin access to the backend and my joomla version is
1.5.22

I tried again and added mp3 to the Legal Extensions (File Types) and
got the following errors.

* JFile::read: Unable to open file: ''
* Warning: Failed to move file!
* Error. Unable to upload file.

However if I add mp3 to the Legal Image Extensions (File Types) I get
the following error

This file type is not supported

Thanks for your help

Are you able to upload a standard image file like a jpg?

Yes

I am web developer and very comfortable with Joomla!. But this is the
first time I had to upload mp3 in the media manager.

I mean have you tried through the media manager to upload an image
file and is it successful on this site? You shouldn't be seeing those
JFile warnings as they indicate an error somewhere...

[sammy sumer]

Yes Sam, I have uploaded images through media manager. All with no
problem at all.

It is just the mp3 that is causing these errors.

Thank you so much for your help

How big is the MP3 and what is the php max_post_size and upload_max_filesize?

[sammy sumer]

This is a good point. The mp3 is 3.5MB.

I will check those settings and I try to increase the limits with a
custom php.ini file.

I let you know the results.

Thanks for your help mate

Thanks Sam, That was it. The problem was with the upload_max_filesize.

I added the php_value upload_max_filesize 8M in htaccess and the
problem went away.

Thank you so much
