Hi,

Is there anyway I can get Gallery Server Pro to recognise and process .MTS Video files?

I'd like to be able to view these files in Gallery Server Pro without having to manually convert the files first. Is there a way to get it to recognise and convert the files in the same way it does with other video formats?

Thanks,
Oliver

Look in the section 'Adding or editing a file/MIME type' in the Admin Guide.

I've read the Admin Guide regarding adding MIME types. That's a pretty complex way of having to do it. I need MTS video support as well as almost all of the Sony Digital Handycams output video natively in .MTS format. I would suspect that most folks would never add a MIME type because it is more than a little complex. :-)

It is not really that complex. All you do is add a record to one table in the database. The Admin Guide even gives you the syntax (slightly modified here for .mts):

Code:
INSERT INTO [gs_MimeType] ([FileExtension],[MimeTypeValue],[BrowserMimeTypeValue])
VALUES ('.mts','video/mts', '')


The Admin Guide has another section that talks about tools for editing database records: Management Tools for SQLite, SQL CE and SQL Server

Forgive me for saying so but that is still a lot of seriously "geeky" work to do to simply add a single MIME. Normally I see a web user interface either at the server level or the app level to do those things easily and simply.

Alternatively, could you develop some process whereby a user could simpily edit a text file with MIME entries and import it into the app? Something easy and low on the need for serious technical know-how? Thanks.

It all comes down to priorities. I need to focus on those activities that give the biggest bang for the buck. Right now that means I am working on all the top vote getters in the poll.
