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 -p 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>
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>
