Codeigniter flv,wmv uploading gives error “Invalid file type”

It gives “The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed.” error when I was trying to upload flv and wmv files using codeigiter “upload” library.

I was sure about $config array. But this error was there when I was trying video upload.

My $config settings were as follows.

//CodeIgniter Code

$configVideo['upload_path'] = './upload/video';
$configVideo['max_size'] = '10240';
$configVideo['allowed_types'] = 'avi|flv|wmv|mp3';
$configVideo['overwrite'] = FALSE;
$configVideo['remove_spaces'] = TRUE;
$video_name = $_FILES['video']['name'];

Solution:  

Open mimes.php file in config folder 

Add folowing two lines into the $mimes array

'wmv'=>array('video/wmv', 'video/x-ms-wmv', 'flv-application/octet-stream', 'application/octet-stream'),
 'flv' =>array('video/flv', 'video/x-flv', 'flv-application/octet-stream', 'application/octet-stream'),
Hope this will help you out..
