I’ve uploaded my MP4’s to AWS, and manually changed the content type to Video/MP4. My videos were working last week but now i’m getting an error message about bad mime type.
What’s the problem? Thanks.

Hello Liz,
your video URL doesn’t work, it says “Access Denied”. Follow this step in our guide to make sure your permissions are set properly: http://foliovision.com/wordpress/plugins/fv-wordpress-flowplayer/secure-amazon-s3-guide#public
Thanks,
Martin
I have checked and have the permissions set to Everyone – and the Content type as Video/MP4. I don’t understand why i’m getting this message, especially when i had the green light last week with these videos.
Also, people are still able to view them, but I’m not confident that’s consistent. What else can I do?
Thanks.

Hello Liz,
I see, we will make the video checker non-case sensitive as your video appears to play fine in Internet Explorer 9 without Flash. It should be “video/mp4” and not “video/MP4”, but it doesn’t seem to matter to Internet Explorer 9.
Thanks,
Martin
Thanks very much Martin. So you’re saying it should work OK for everyone to view?
Hello Liz,
it should be fine, but I would still advise you adjust it to lowercase “video/mp4” just to follow the standards.
Thanks,
Martin
Thank you so much for your help Martin.

I’m watching this but got a message from someone trying to watch that she can’t access. Has tried 2 browsers and tried refreshing. Message is Flash: Video file not found. What should she do?
Thanks.

Hello Liz,
I’m sorry, but we can’t replicate the issue. Here’s how we can help you with troubleshooting. Could you please:
1) ask your user to visit this site and copy the “Your User Agent String is:” information for you and post it here? http://www.whatsmyuseragent.com/
2) ask your user to visit this link http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player.html click the “Check Now” button and copy the “YOUR SYSTEM INFORMATION” table for you and post it here?
3) upload your video to Amazon S3 bucket again, into a directory which contains no blank spaces. Also remove the blank spaces from the file name. Currently it’s:
POTR+Videos+Condensed/POTR+Sarah+Schilke+Unique.mp4So let’s make it:
potr-videos-condensed/potr-sarah-schilke-unique.mp4Thanks,
Martin
