Question

Can you block file types???

Can you block certain file types from playing to force users to have a standardized file type to be uploaded to the server?  For example, if we decide we do not want .wav files played on the server, is there a configuration setting to block/stop a .wav from playing from the server?  I want to standardize the server and force end users to copy only certain file types into the vod folder.

    I think yo can do it at two ways:- One which theMinistry suggested - block the upload itself  OR the second is you allow upload but disallow playing by using Authorization plug-in where it will have code to block certain file types from playing.

    That would be in the technology you use to upload the files.

    If you build out a server side solution that would upload files to your web server you could do that, but no, FMS is about streaming what's already there or creating new files.  It doesn't care how it got there...

    Something like this:  http://www.inaflashuploader.com/ might work for you.  ( I think there's a max size limit to the files you can upload. just FYI )

    **disclaimer i have not used this I just googled for a flash + php upload script **
