=How to add valid file extensions for new Video formats=
LinuxMCE maintains a list of video extensions in the "MediaType" table of the "pluto_main" database.

==How to do it==
''At a terminal prompt, type the following:''

1.)
mysql -u root -D pluto_main <enter>

''Password for "root" is <blank> by default. You'll now see a "mysql>" prompt''

2.)
select Extensions from MediaType WHERE Define = "pluto_StoredVideo"; <enter>

''You should see a result like this:''
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| Extensions |
+---------------------------------------------------------+
| mov,avi,mpeg,mpg,wmv,ts,tp,dvd,vdr,ogm,evo,m2ts,iso,mp4 |
+---------------------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

3.)
UPDATE MediaType SET Extensions = "<Insert Result from #2 here>,<new fileext sep by ,>" WHERE Extensions = "<Insert result from #2 here.>"; <enter><br>
''For Example:''
UPDATE MediaType SET Extensions = "mov,avi,mpeg,mpg,wmv,ts,tp,dvd,vdr,ogm,evo,m2ts,iso,mp4,'''mkv,bin'''" WHERE Extensions = "mov,avi,mpeg,mpg,wmv,ts,tp,dvd,vdr,ogm,evo,m2ts,iso,mp4";

4.)
quit <enter>

== Another way ==
If you need to add the ''flv'' extension:

''At a terminal prompt, type the following:''

1.)
mysql -u root pluto_main
2.)
update MediaType set extensions=concat(extensions,',flv') where define='pluto_StoredVideo';
quit
