I have a website where users can upload videos. I have been having an issue with some mp4 not uploading. Specifically ones coming from Android phones. I can get most mp4 upload just fine but the ones form that device are encode in some way that is rejecting them.
Anyone know why this is or a fix for it?
To fix the issue I was having I changed it to 'mp4' => array('video/mp4', 'video/3gpp'), and now it works. Not sure if this is the best way.
CodeIgniter doesn't recognize the mp4 file as valid, since .mp4 isn't part of the default array of acceptable mime types.
Add this entry to your config/mimes.php:
'mp4' => 'video/mp4',
