force download of media? - 2006/02/19 21:24 I searched the forums and google and couldn't find anything about forcing downloads of media (mp3, quicktime video) with Remository. Is this something that can be done?

I currently have a video file and a mp3 for download in my remository, but in IE they try to stream/open instead of prompt to Save As.

It would be real handy if Remository could force the download. I figured that it would, but it's not. Perhaps I am missing a setting somewhere?

Re:force download of media? - 2006/02/21 23:05 You'd have to change the code in com_remository_startdown.php to change that behaviour. Remove the code that sets the ctype of mp3 files. Martin Brampton aka Counterpoint

Re:force download of media? - 2006/02/21 23:52 Thanks for the reply.

I removed the following code:
Code:

 case "mp3": $ctype="audio/mpeg"; break;



but IE still trys to stream the MP3.

 Re:force download of media? - 2006/02/24 20:19 Were you ever able to resolve this issue, and how? I will soon be tackling this with PDF files and it seems that many users are also having the same problem with these. Maybe the Admin (or someone else who knows what they're doing ) will take a note of this and add a setting in v.3.4 to “force download” of all files without streaming anything.

 Re:force download of media? - 2006/03/20 04:40 Have you figured this out yet? I have the same problem.

I tried editing that .php file but any changes I make to it are not read by Remository, it would seem.

The suggested change did nothing and neither did adding the .mp3 extension to the list of restricted file extensions. I was still allowed to download it.
