I've uploaded a file with a .flv extension using the filetypes mod and that works fine. I'm using the flast player mod to play it from within coppermine.
However, on looking in the MYSQL table there is no entry shown for this file. Other files that were uploade before and after it are shown but this one seems to be missing. Does the filetypes mod do something odd with it?
Sorry to take up room, it turned out to be a host issue. Their mysql admin panel got screwed and after installing mysqladmin I can view it properly from there.
A biig recommendation to all is to install a tool like mysqladmin or similar as the host inbuilt versions are nowhere near as good
