MIME type set but IE plugin doesn't like mp4

Hi,
I've made sure mp4 is checked in the MIME types list in the Quicktime control panel. Still mp4 files won't play in IE 6. FF plays them just fine, but I get the ugly broken plugin icon when I try see them in IE. I have reinstalled quicktime and rebooted to no effect.
Thanks

This is just a test I am making. I don't want to just open some file in Quicktime. I want to put an mp4 file in my website and have people see it.
The final result will be that users will go to some page and the player will be embedded in code, but for now I am just accessing the file using the url. If I can't see it using the url in the browser much less I will be able to see it embedded in code.
So basically the file is already there in my site but when I go to the url nothing happens. I'll worry about the code later. If I can't see the movie myself or if don't know how to fix this then I won't be able to solve similar issues for my users.
Hope that clarifies things a bit

MIME type setting on Tomcat server. Please help.

Hi all.
Can someone shed me some lights on setting up MIME type. I added the followings to the web.xml file in /WEB-INF directory, restarted webserver, and still saw my jnlp file as text file in the browser. What did I do wrong?
<init-param>
<param-name>jnlp-extension</param-name>
<param-value>.xjnlp</param-value>
</init-param>

do you use Apache as your web server?
if so the just add the following line to the .mime.types configuration file:
application/x-java-jnlp-file JNLP
Tomcat is more a servlet server than a web server... so i don't know if it can be responsable for serving jnlp files or not....
Anyhow, hope this helps in some way...

Locale didn't set at install, filesystem doesn't like accents

I have a strange problem on another computer, on which I just installed arch. I can't create folders and can't save files with áéúóüöőű characters. and yaourt says, it can't find hu_HU.UTF8. At arch installation I forgot to set the locale (only en_US was uncommented). Where can I fix this now, with everything installed? (This is on another computer, on mine one, it works good, even folders with őű)

Thank you, I'll try. I even did one of them, I can't remember which. I'll get to that computer tomorrow, hopefully it solve evenb the filesystem problem.

How to set Mime Type for Static Files

Hi All,
I am working on Apex 3.2.1.00.10.
When I am trying to upload (create) a ".js" file into Static Files under Shared Components of an application; it is saving as "*text/plain*" for Mime Type. But I need Mime type to be set as "*application/x-javascript*".
Please help me to change the Mime type of .js file.
Or is there any way to upload the file directly as "*application/x-javascript*" as its Mime Type.
Thanks in advance.

In IIS v4 which comes with the Windows NT4 option pack, you right click the web page you are working with, select properties, then go to the HTTP Headers tab. At the bottom there's a button labelled File Types in the MIME Map section.
After you've clicked that, you can add the two mime types you need;
Associated Extension MIME Type
.jar application/x-java-jar-file
.jnlp application/x-java-jnlp-file
I'm assuming that it is the same in W2k/IIS5.

Fresh Java install; browser doesn't recognize jnlp MIME type...

Hi Folks,
I was working with a client today to install a JWS app on a number of workstations. First one went fine. Just to be sure they had everything right, switched to another Windows PC. Browser displayed the jnlp file as XML. OK, I figured, must be missing the JRE. So, okay, we install the lastest 1.5 from www.java.com. Well, the browser still doesn't pick up on the MIME type setting and launch JWS--just displays the XML.
And yes, the server is sending the right MIME information because it works on dozens of other PC's at dozens of other sites as well as on the first PC we tried at that location. So then I figure, well, we'll just tell Mozilla that it needs to associate the right application with the MIME type/extension in question--there's no where to add a new association (at least not that I can find).
Any suggestions gratefully accepted.
John

Sorry for the inaccuracy there. We actually tried both Firefox and IE--same result on both of them.
(The 1.5 version of JWS doesn't allow you to put in the URL there--a disappointing circumstance. The whole thing was clearly more complicated than it seemed to me at first--there were already 3 other JREs installed.)

Mime-type tag in web.xml and attachment download

i have set a mime-type in web.xml as below:
<mime-mapping>
<extension>xls</extension>
<mime-type>application/vnd.ms-excel</mime-type>
</mime-mapping>
And i have a simple jsp that only shows a table and i am making this jsp to get downloaded as an excel attachment. To make it possible i have written the following line in the JSP:
response.setHeader( "content-disposition", "attachment; filename=myexcel.xls" );
But i am not setting the content type first by writing:
response.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" );
since i have already mentioned the appropriate mime-type for excel files in web.xml.
I am using both mozilla and IE. Both are showing file download dialog. But IE is able to correctly identify the type of the attachment and opens it up with Microsoft Excel whereas mozilla fails to identify the type, assumes it to be an HTML document and opens it up in a new window of IE.
mozilla works fine only when i set the content type in the JSP itself. But IE works in all conditions even without having the mime-type tag in web.xml.
If i have already specified the mime-type for particular type of file in web.xml, is there any requirement to set the content type again in the JSP/servlet?
Please help. I even changed the mime-type for .xls (excel) files in web.xml and made it text/plain, but still the same thing is happening. IE is always showing the correct file type where as mozilla is taking it as an HTML document.
i am using weblogic server 8.1.

the web xml mime type setting are for static files served by the server...
if you print a file directly to the output of the servlet, you must set the mime type, so DO write :
response.setContentType( "application/vnd.ms-excel" );
IE "works fine" because it also uses the file extension to decide the mime type... but in the absolute, it's a wrong behaviour

MIME Types

I need to know how to alter MIME type settings in OS X. I would like to use another media player other than QT to play MPEGS off the web because I would like the ability to go full screen. I have tried unchecking the MPEG file types in Quicktitme, in theory removing QT as the default player, but Safari and Firefox both still default to QT when I click on that type of link.
Can someone please tell me where I can make changes to and manually add MIME types?
Thanks!

Hi, Echomancer.
Two suggestions for you:
1. See "Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Changing the application that opens a document."
2. Try the freeware application RCDefaultApp. Safari, unlike many other browsers, doesn't provide a way to assign "helper apps" to specific MIME types.
Good luck!

Changing MIME Types

Hi,
I have a problem in downloading .xlsx or .docx, or .pptx files from the KM.
The above mentioned file types get opened as a 'zip' file instead of directly opening as the file.
I don't have any problem in opening .xls or .doc.
I added the file types in System Config->Utilities->MIME Types.
But still the problem remains the same.

Thanks Sandeep.
Restarting worked.

Photoshop CS5.1 Twain Plugin Doesn't Work

The twain plugin (for my Canon scanner) had worked in 32-bit mode in Photoshop CS5.
But the plugin doesn't work with Photoshop CS5.1. I downloaded what seems to be the latest (not sure) twain plugin from Adobe, but no help there, either.
I get this error message. But the scanner is connected (it worked from another application) and plugged in.

Yes. I installed the twain plugin for CS5.1, and opened in 32-bit mode.
Do you have a link for the most recent twain plugin, so I can see if it's the one I downloaded?
Thanks.

Definitely sounds like an issue with your Wi-Fi network. Do any other devices on the network have similar issues? Is it an issue only with downloading apps? You can check by trying to load a website in Safari.
I would try turning your Wi-Fi router off for 1 minute, and back on again.
After doing that, disconnect and re-join the Wi-Fi network on your iPhone and try downloading an app again.

File/Open Dialog Box / Setting MIME type

In my application, I am calling a web service that returns text that I need to download into an EDI application. I am simply looking to have an open/file dialog box open when the text is returned. I was using the following code in a PL/SQL process:
begin
-- Set the MIME type
owa_util.mime_header( 'application/octet', FALSE );
-- Set the name of the file
htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="EDIOuput.edi"');
-- Close the HTTP Header
owa_util.http_header_close;
end;
The problem is the HTML code that comes along with the text that is returned. Is there a way to simple call the procedure on a page that only containes the raw data?
Thank you.

HTML doesn't provide you the possibility to select multiple files or select folders at a single browse. Thus JSF can't do any much for you. Best what you can do is to write a signed applet or web start application which does the task. The Mojarra Scales component library has a ready-to-use component which embeds an applet which does that task. Check [https://scales.dev.java.net/multiFileUpload.html].

Safari doesn't display an object with MIME type video/mp4

So, I've got a little hiccup here. I put together a CV in html with samples you can click to bring up. Now, I don't make any claims to professional geekdom, but I try to be fairly html savvy, and since I'm sending this to the college IT guys, I want to do it right. So I'd like this thing to use valid w3c compliant html. Not too tough, fix some missing quotes and learn how to use the object tag instead of embed. Done.
Well, here's the problem. I loaded it into Safari for testing, and a Quicktime file won't play. Now, it runs fine on Firefox. The obtuse and awkwardly lumped in IE version of the object works fine (tested in IE6, Win2K virtual machine). And the same file ran fine when I had it using an embed tag. Now it just brings up the Quicktime emblem, takes up the specified amount of space, and doesn't do anything.
What did I do wrong? I've got the latest Quicktime and Safari, and I know it's standards compliant. Do I have to feed it some more specific type for an h.264 encoded mp4?
Here's the code I used. The embed tag is the one that works, the object tag is the compliant one that doesn't. I'm guessing I'm missing a parameter or something. Any advice?
<embed scale="1" src="files/Sabres.mp4" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" autoplay="FALSE" volume="100" cache="TRUE" height="496" width="640">
<object type="video/mp4" data="files/Sabres.mp4" height="496" width="640">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
Your browser cannot display this content. Click here to download it.
</object>

Tom and Kirk, thanks for your time. That would work, but since <embed> is a non-standard tag, I want to avoid it.
Andy, I actually stopped by that site last night, and I did use it for the object code.
My problem is that for some reason, what looks like a legitimate implementation of <object> isn't displaying in Safari. I know Firefox is a bit more forgiving of sloppy code, so I don't blame Safari for that one. I know Safari can display the file because it displayed it properly when I called it with embed. I'm just not sure what's wrong with the code that's making Safari not bring up the video. It knows it's Quicktime and loads the file, I know that, because it brings up the emblem and starts hoarding RAM when I bring it up in Safari, but it just holds there. I've tried a couple MIME types, including video/quicktime and video/mp4, both worked in Firefox, and video/h264 just as a shot in the dark, and both Safari and Firefox showed the alternate content.
By the way, here's the full code I used to display the object, using Castro's cloaking technique for IE compatibility. I omitted it earlier because when I isolated the non-IE section alone in the body of the document it behaved the same as it did with the cloaking (working in FF, broken in Safari).


<object type="video/mp4" data="files/Sabres.mp4" height="496" width="640">
<param name="controller" value="true">
<param name="autoplay" value="false">
Your browser cannot display this content. Click here to download it.

Setting MIME type in IIS 4 & 5

Well I am very impressed with this Web Start technology but it was a little slow downloading via sun's site.
I set about trying to set it up on my company Intranet server before I demonstrated to my IT director.
I saved the swingset2.jnlp file from the sun demo's page, used the Swingset2.jar file from the JDK 1.3.1 demos and got the swingset2.jnlp images and put them in an images subdirectory. Next I amended the swingset.jnlp to my own web server by changing the cobebase parameter. I then created a simple web page wrapper with a link to the jnlp file.
In my directories I have the following files:
swingset2.html
swingset2.jar
swingset2.jnlp
images\swingset2.small
On the server side IIS 5.0, I go into master properties for my web server, go to HTTP headers and hit the file types button.
I then add a new entry with associated extension .jnlp and content type of application/x-java-jnlp-file
Also found and changes the IIS.inf file just in case.
Rebooted the web server to make sure everything is initialised correctly.
When I launch the jnlp file from a client PC "Java Web Start" starts but I get the following error "Unable to launch Swingset2", details "category: download error. Bad MIME type returned from server when accessing resource: http://Newgreg/jaws/Swingset2.jnlp - text/html.
The jnlp used is listed:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<jnlp spec="1.0+"
codebase="http://NewGreg/jaws/apps"
href="SwingSet2.jnlp">
<information>
<title>SwingSet2</title>
<vendor>Sun Microsystems, Inc.</vendor>
<homepage href="../demos.html"/>
<description>SwingSet2 Demo</description>
<description kind="short">A demo of the capabilities of the Swing Graphical User Interface.</description>

<resources>
<j2se version="1.3+"/>
<jar href="SwingSet2.jar" main="true" download="eager"/>
</resources>
<application-desc main-class="SwingSet2"/>
</jnlp>
Can anyone help??? I would love to start using this technology, it looks very promising.
Email: [email protected]

Have you been able to write your own java app and deploy it on that same server by any chance? It's hard to say whether it's something to do with the swing start demo configuration or whether it's your server's configuration. Since it's reporting bad MIME type I'm wondering if it's more related to the web server configuration.
