Hi Ron,

Sorry for the delay getting back to you. this commit lists the file changes
that have been made
https://github.com/thexerteproject/xerteonlinetoolkits/commit/5150fa252f54f7
68848c4d95609c3957f9180ad5

You can get the files by clicking on the [View file @ 5150fa2] button at the
side of each upload.php file (although both should be identical).

Basically you want the NEW upload.php file in both:

modules/site/engine/upload.php    and in

modules/xerte/engine/upload.php

and then you need to move the contents of the MoovRelocator folder from 

/modules/xerte /engine/tools/moovrelocator     to

/library/MoovRelocator

You can then delete the folder at /modules/site/engine/tools/moovrelocator
as both upload.php files should now reference the shared library.

I've tried this with lots of different mp4s and these changes seem to now be
working fine and consistently so I will be very interested to hear how you
get on as it's not really made it into the mainstream yet.

You might also want to change your wizard file as Tom has implemented some
changes that I made which actually use file_exists to query whether an
uploaded file is present on the server since ActionScript 2.0 always reports
successful since it cannot receive messages back from the upload script..

Hi Ron,

Is this using code from the current Github repos or an older version? I did
some work on this more recently on Github - I can advise you on the change
involved.

Hi all

firstly apologies for not contributing much lately - simply been busy with
other things.

However I'm delevering some xerte training to a group of 40 students next
Tuesday and have just been completing some prep for that. I've upgraded my
install recently and notice that if I add a video page and upload an mp4 via
the editor for that page it suggests that it has worked but when I look in
media and quota I see a file named process_moov.temp

If I upload the mp4 direct via media and quota the mp4 appears and all works
fine.

But I guess this is all part of particularly John's work on streaming etc so
any quick pointers? I dodn't have time to trawl through the archives and a
quick search didn't reveal anything.

Cheers

Ron
