Hi guys,

I have discovered HFS just yesterday and i have already installed my server and pointing it to the internet.
All working great, except streaming:

Mp3 files work fine but video files no.
I removed security for the folder ant it could play me AVI but not MKV.
Can anybody help me to keep security and be able to play common forms like: MKV, FLV, MP4 and XVID?

Thanks in advance.

PS: i have version 2.3 and RAWR-Template-0.1.3

Bye.

see previous post:
http://www.rejetto.com/forum/hfs-~-http-file-server/information-(mime-types)-embed-pdfsvideo-and-audio/

(You may need to use a template!)....

You will have to modify your mime list to include them:
hfs > menu > Other options > mime types

http://help.encoding.com/knowledge-base/article/correct-mime-types-for-serving-video-files/

example:
*.mkv would be video/mkv
etc... (See post for more information)

----NOTE:
Some mime types you have to search for, example, search
https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=mkv%20mime%20type

and possible result:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2912044/iis-directory-listing-doesnt-reconize-mkv-files

and answer for mime type:
use  .mka : Matroska audio audio/x-matroska. .mkv : Matroska video video/x-matroska.

(this will work too: *.mkv would be video/mkv)...

Your browser will require the vlc player plugin however i prefer the HTML 5 Players But Its Up To You.
