Title: filetype: player code for mp4?
Post by: superslacker on June 21, 2006, 02:25:34 AM
Hi all, I've been trying to get .mp4 files to play in coppermine. I am finally able to upload them after adding .mp4 to the filetype table in the database (mime type: video/mp4) , but now have another question - how much does it matter what 'player' code I use, and is there  a list somewhere of the different codes for different applications? On OSX I can only get .mp4 files to play if I set the player to QT, but the default for other types appears to be WMP. I'd like to just set this to whatever will maximize the likelihood of as many people as possible being able to view them.
Thanks.

Players are WMP for media player, RMP for realplayer, QT for quicktime, SWF for flash and UNK for default. The setting is used to pick the parameters when the video is embedded into the page. The code for this is can be found in the sample theme. Best idea is to try each option on all platforms you have access to.
