Uploading 300mb video files in concrete5 5.7.5.11
Permalink
I am trying upload large video files around 300mb, as the concrete5 file uploader wouldn't do it, I FTP the file to applications/files/incoming then from the file uploader I chose options/add file from incoming but I get this error.
{"error":{"message":"PDO::beginTransaction(): MySQL server has gone away"},"errors":["PDO::beginTransaction(): MySQL server has gone away"]}
I also spoke to my host about increasing the upload_max_filesize in php.ini and they told me to add php_value upload_max_filesize xxM to .htaccess where xx is the max file size in Mb. So I have added php_value upload_max_filesize 500M but I still can't use the concrete5 file manger to upload these video files, the upload dialog just does nothing.
Any ideas?

Don't upload through concrete, instead put the video files in the root and create a link to them from there.
Great idea, I will try that.
Thanks

When I add the video player block I can see no way to add video files other than with the file manager. If I try file manager options, add remote files I get this error
{"error":{"message":"Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 354680843 bytes)"},"errors":["Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 354680843 bytes)"]}

1. Use ‘Any Video Converter’ to optimise video and keep weight down (both Mac & Windows): http://www.any-video-converter.com/products-freeware/...
2. Use my MP4 player to use either local or remote files:https://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/mp4-player/...

Thanks, I will take a look at those links. Currently I have managed to get a 97Mb video uploaded and working, seems there is a 100Mb cutoff.
If you don't focus on permission-based display, it would be easier to host your video files at youtube oder vimeo (which i prefer much).
Not only because of ease of use, but also because many people watching your video file at the same time will slow down your server, depending what machine you have there.

I think you are right, I will look at Vimeo but I think the free account is more restricted than Youtube as regards to storage and embedding HD video on other sites, I don't want have a paid account at this stage.
