mime mp4 m4v other video formats

[Shaun Ward]

Hi,

Having a lot of issues with video file formats on the 1.1 install w/ Ubuntu 10.04.

Here is one of the example videos that I am using and having problems with

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iWmgFrLFIxI

I use the firefox addon download helper to get the file.

I have it uploaded here on my test server:

http://www.srw-dev.com/nsbikesco.mp4

The server sends no data when downloading this file. I tried to add mp4 or m4v options to the server to the mercury confi file (/etc/apache2/conf.d/mercury), as I am guessing its a mod_deflate issue:

SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.avi$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mov$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mp3$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.mp4$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.m4v$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.ogg$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.ogv$ no-gzip dont-vary
SetEnvIfNoCase Request_URI \.rm$ no-gzip dont-vary

This does nothing for me.

Any help on this issue would be huge.

Thanks!

Got Video working, Thanks to Aaron on the #pantheon IRC Chat.

Had to pipe in mp4:

<code>
sudo nano /etc/varnish/default.vcl
</code>

Add:
<code>
  // No varnish for video
  if (req.url ~ "\.mp4") {
    return (pipe);
  }
</code>

Restart Varnish:
sudo /etc/init.d/varnish restart

Have a feeling that I will need to add more to this. Not too hard to do that though. Example for adding m4v (req.url ~ "\.mp4|\.m4v") should do it.

Code tags don't work here.....don't add that part if you use this code (<code></code>)
