Deprecated - Media and document management

Like the topic says, I can use the 4.7 Audio module, running in Drupal 4.7.2, to upload an MP3 file for podcast purposes fine. This particular file is a 17-minute-long mp3. If the user goes to the download page and retrieves the whole file, it can be played just fine, in entirety. However if the user clicks on the arrow button (which appears automatically on the node's page) then the playback stops at about 1:20. This is repeatable on different computers. Is there some place where this duration is configured? I can't see any logical reason for this to occur.

The situation is - we want to incorporate a large, existing site with a lot of legacy file download links etc (bookmarked and hard-linked to from all over the place) into a Drupal document management system.

Sorry, Apache mod-rewrites are out of the question, and they'd totally confuse the later editors.

I've had some success with what I need to do to re-attach files to their appropriate Drupal nodes, but the first way of doing that for a site admin was to set the "File Directory" to "." - effectively allowing all the sites files to be available for attachment, and to allow admins to upload to various places. (I also built a 'save-as' plugin).
I've so far avoided making my own table or my own file-save methods by beating the existing upload.module into submission, (by lying to it, not by patching it) but I don't want to leave the 'files' directory as '.'
I don't want to build another alternative filemanager, like so many others have tried, I want to remain close to core.

I'm looking into (eventually) setting different base 'files' directories by roles, or by page type, or by alias path, (probably a bad idea) but all of them would like to know what the true path of a file is.

Currently, the 'files' table stores relative paths in the database, and these are rendered with the active file directory plugged on the front of it. This is why changing the files directory on a live site causes death.

Hi,

I am very new to Drupal and PHP. I plan on starting a e-learning site with videos using Drupal. The videos are in Clipstream's proprietary format http://www.clipstream.com/. Clipstream is a java-based playerless streaming media app - just like Cortado.

I looked at the Video.module in Drupal. I want to create a similar node type in Drupal - except that this node type will work with only Clipstream videos.

What is the easiest way that I can setup my Drupal website, so that registered users have their own galleries that they can freely edit and have a page of user gallery listings that can be explored/viewed by other registered users?

Thanks,
William

I have a large collection of pdf documents that I'd like to import into my Drupal site using Flexinode. When I do this it ignores the file field. Looking in the database, the file field is populated from flexinode_data (which is a little confusing as I thought I was using CCK to do this ...); and that field is composed of strings apparently delimited using 's:#' for the number of characters in each string.

If I create filenames of a standard number of characters can I import the files directly into the database as follows?

I am using both image and img-assist modules to create images.
Consider the following scenario: I create 500x500 image, use img_assist to embed this image into a page. An tag is generated in the page with the src attribute poiniting to the 500x500 image. At some point later, i go and update the image file to a 400x400 image. This breaks my IMG link in the page as it points to the deleted 500x500 image.
