Why is uploading music so complicated? I upload an mp3 file and it says 00:00. I really don't get. Is there a resource for solving this problem? |
Have you attempted to play the file yet? It can say 00:00 until someone actually tries to play the file for the first time. Then it will set itself to the correct time. Nothing to see here |
it could be a con setting actually, and you gotta have rms set up with your server host. I had this same issue until this morning.. so I contacted them and they assisted me. |
RMS is not needed to upload music or videos. It is required for audio/video (webcam) capabilities in chat, chatroom, and video comments though, Nothing to see here |
I believe I tried playing a file already and nothing worked. However, I will try one more time to be sure. I guess I would have to forsake sounds and video or choose some alternative ways to have members share video. |
I get this with all video uploads until I play them, then it recognises the length of the vid. Problem I got is any files/vis/sounds uploaded, show in the folder/albums but dont show in the video/sounds count etc... somewhere theyre not being registered as uploaded even though they are there and viewable! |
Unfortunately, trying to play the file does not work for me along with changing PHP settings. I checked that the server settings meet and in cases exceed the Dolphin requirements. In a time when youtube clones are popping up everywhere I would have thought getting music and video to work on a website was elementary. I guess not. I have search for the solution to my dilemna and I can't find a solution. |
If you used an auto installer to install dolphin on your server, you may want to check all permission settings listed in the detailed install manual for correct settings... I had a similar problem with getting audio to play after upload from using an auto installer... when I manually installed dolphin myself, the audio and video functioned properly. Did you set up cron jobs at installation... I found this can have an effect it as well... try setting the cron common settings to * * * * *
Don't give up... I understand it's frustrating Regards, Mandy |
