Php photo gallery TWG | JFUploader | TWG Flash upload | WFU | Forum

I have a Windows Media file I uploaded to my site using an FTP program. It's 226MBs. If I download the file directly from its link its fine, but when I download it through TFU Windows Media Player can't play it.

Also the TFU shows inconsistent file sizes in its interface during the download:

Windows Media Error:




Any ideas what the problem is?

it seems the server is only returning half of the file! The numbers below is the internal data the flash gives me. I'll check on my local server if I have this inconsistency too.

what is the filesize you get on your server?

I just tested 250 MB without any problems. The file sizes match there too!
I was using Flash 9 on windows.

The flash documentations says only file up to 100MB can be up and downloaded but I already did much more.

Which version of flash are you using?

As a workaround you could use the Javascript function to generate a download link on the fly or you can actually display the url to the file inside the flash.

/Michael

seems not enough ...

The parameter for the workaround is $show_full_url_for_selected_file.
Read the docu in the config how to use this.

can you send me a pm with the link to the flash? Then I can verify that the problem.
I tested with a zip because there one wrong byte already kills the file.

And what is the size you have downloaded? The 96 MB the flash was showing?

/Michael

the problem is that at this point the only thing I do for downloading is to give the flash the url where to download. There is none of my code involved where I can trigger that (I only display the progress bar).

But it seems I cannot read the filesize on the server properly - the 976563 is my internal default!

Have you set show preview to false? because this triggers to read the filesize from the server - but this is only a display thing ...
set it to true and then check if the size is correct.

I have moved the reading of the filesize
loadPreviewInfos(evt_obj);

before the
if (show_preview == "true") {

in Uploader.as. Then the filesize is read if the preview is disabled too.

I have downloaded the file and it does not work either. Can you maybe retry with a zip file? With this filetype at least I know that it opens without any special codec or something.

And does it work with smaller wmv files?

Nice color of the flash btw .

My other problem is the preview isn't showing up...like the actual thumbnail for jpgs and such. I have show preview and show big preview "true" and you see the little loading graphic, but then no preview. Any ideas on this?

do you have a log file? is gd lib installed? you can find out by calling php_info on your server.

simply put
<?php
php_info();
?>
in a php file and call it.

/Michael

I put that code in a php file and put it on the server and when I go to that page it just shows a blank page...no info on it.

sorry.

phpinfo();

That did it. I'll PM you the results.

The problem is that this is the php info.

The download of the Flash does not use php at all - it's 100% Flash.
I think the server sends the file in a certain encoding and the client saves it in his one. And if they don't match ...

Have you tried with the .htaccess part I sent you by pm?
Where you can set the encoding for certain file types ...

Right now I don't know what else to try ...

/Michael

Once my server guy gets back to me I'll see about adding in code to the htaccess file to upload certain files a certain way. Thanks for the help so far.
