how do i change the file size limit of the video that i am trying to use. It is 5.6 and the limit is 2.0

Gary,
The Flash Player extension sets the size limit in the file flexform_ds_video.xml. Within videolow and videohigh, you'll see a max_size that is set to roughly 10 megabytes. This is significantly higher than the 2 meg limit that you're seeing, so I'm not sure where it might be coming from.

I'd suggest going into the File->Filelist module and trying to upload the file there. This should at least tell you whether the 2 meg limit is showing up across TYPO3 or only in the Flash Player extension.

Thanks,
Jeff

If you see that you cannot upload this file in File->Filelist, here are some more things to check.

In the install tool, go to All Configuration, check the field [maxFileSize]. 1000 = approx 1 MB.

In the install tool, check phpinfo(). Look for upload_max_filesize. To change that, you'll need to edit your php.ini file. If you don't have access to that file, you might be able to override it using a .htaccess file.

hope that helps!

I upload all of my video files (up to 9MB) using wsftp to a directory that I created. I use the WEC flash player plugin for .flv files and I use an swf player that I downloaded from the TYPO3 extensions for .swf files. The swf player allows me to alter the display size.

i am using the flvplayer. i did not figure out how to change the file size limit

Ahh...no wonder the 10 meg limit for the wec_flashplayer isn't taking effect I haven't used the flvplayer extension myself, but a quick look at the source code indicates that its set up in the same way as the wec_flashplayer.

If you pull up the flexform_ds_pi1.xml file, you'll see an entry for <file>. Within this entry is a max size that is set to 2000. Bump this up to larger number such as 10000 (approximately 10 meg) and the upload should work.

You can find this file inside typo3conf/ext/flvplayer and you'll probably need to use something like an FTP program to access it. Let us know if you need some more instructions on this part of it.

Thanks,
Jeff

i didn't realize the wec flash player was available. I inserted the plugin, but now i have a yellow exclamation point next to low band width video. i have saved my video as a flv video. What am i doing wrong. Excuse my inability to make this work.

Gary,
Make sure you fill in all the fields in the plugin. The yellow exclamation point next to the low bandwidth is misleading; it just means that there's an error somewhere in the plugin rather than one specific field.

If you only have one version of the video, rather than low bandwidth and high bandwidth, you can just use the same video in both fields.

Hope that helps!
Jeff

i got it working thanks

Will this have any effect if we're already uploading our files via ftp?
