Hi,

I just wonder how I should proceed if I want to add a new mime type (in this case video/3gpp (.3gp)) and be able to assign it an own thumbnail?

As it is now, my G2 renames the file so that it has no extension at all.

----
Gallery version: Core 0.8.7, Thumbnail Manager 0.8.3
Webserver: Apache2, Win32
PHP version: 4.3.8

G2 takes the mime types directly from apache I believe. Do you already have it as a valid filetype?

3gpp isn't listed in our mime type listing, so here's what you need to do.

Edit modules/core/classes/helpers/MimeHelper_simple.class and add a mapping from .3gp to video/3gpp

Edit modules/core/module.inc and add video/3gpp to the GalleryMoveItem factory registration (search for "registerFactoryImplementation").

That should be enough to get it classified as a movie. Now, if it can be viewed inline in the web browser via a plugin, you can:

Edit modules/core/classes/GalleryMovieItem.class and add video/3gpp to the canBeViewedInline() method. Then edit the render() function and add whatever HTML or Javascript is used to actually render the movie.

That should do it. If you can do it fairly cleanly and test it, we'll be happy to take this back and commit it to the codebase. Thanks!

I didnt find such thing in module.inc file (Im using G2b3).

I also want to add .3GP and .AMR extensions as MIME type...
Both can be playable using QuickTime player...

So is there any other way to add these extensions ?

Have you tried to do the following things:

1. Navigate to Gallery Administration -> Mime types and add the MIME type audio/3gpp to the extension AMR. (Yes, the correct MIME type should be audio/3gpp as you can see in RFC 3839)

2. Navigate to Gallery Administration -> thumbnails and give the new MIME type the audio thumnail to see it in albums.

What does go wrong if you do this (sorry, I am lazy, I don't want to put strange non-picture media types into my gallery)
