I have been struggling put restriction for uploading video to upload only mp4 videos in media module, other media content like image etc. can be uploaded, but I need to put restriction for video type alone.

I am newbie in Drupal, can some one help me in this, what are the places I need to change in media module.

While Adding File

Restrict video upload to mp4 only

don't want other video format, only mp4

I would really appreciate any help on this. I did found sites\all\modules\media\includes\media.pages.inc file which had a function media_add_upload_validate($form, &$form_state) also then I found sites\all\modules\media\includes\media.variables.inc which had function media_variable_default and media_variable_get. Then I got lost. I am not sure if these are the correct files where I need to make the changes. Also I was wondering if I have to make change in Drupal core module to do the video upload restriction to mp4 perfectly.

Thanks

  • Yes, It's taken care by the module... The error messages that you see are rendered from a template..

  • It is working great but it is taking time to show error, It is waiting for file to get uploaded and only after that it shows the error is there any way to show the error before file gets uploaded.
