I have an issue where after installing and enabling the Video module on Drupal 5.x doesn't work correctly when creating content. When uploading or linking to a video, and putting in a correct file size, the video doesn't appear to be uploaded, and also results in the error "Video type not supported". The /files directory and all child directories are set for read and write access; I have also put the correct extension in the upload permissions and made sure the file size is smaller than PHP's limit. Any ideas?

Have same issue. I've been wrestling with this for a day and a half now; haven't been able to fix this curious behavior. When I figure it out, will post solution.

Are you sure that the file type is supported? I had this problem once when I was not paying close attention to the file type and uploaded a .m4p file rather than a .mp4 file. Have you tried to upload other types of files as well? Let us know more symptons.

Title: "Video type not supported." » "Video type not supported." SOLVED

I solved the problem.

To fix it I had to make sure files extension were in common letters e.g. .mov instead of .MOV or .avi instead of .AVI

I also had to install a browser plug in for my media player.

When I ran into this problem I was using Totem on Ubuntu 7.10, which doesn't support a wide variety to media formats.

I removed Totem and installed Mplayer which supports many common media formats and then installed a browser plugin for Mozilla.

All is well.

Seems like a browser problem, not a video module problem. Looks good, closing.
