Hi there, I'm writing some code that looks at a video file given to it and writes up the correct embed html and outputs it to the browser. I though that I would use mime_content_type() function to detect the type of each video, but after enabling it, I found that it doesn't have the mime type for windows media player. After some researching I had some following questions:
1. Can someone explain what each column means in the magic.mime file: 0 short 0143561 application/x-bcpio 2. Does anyone have any windows media, realplayer mime types they'd like to share for the magic.mime file 3. I saw that the mime_type extension have been deprecated in favor of pecl fileinfo, is installing and using the pecl extension as easy as pear install fileinfo? Does it detect windows media, real player, and quicktime videos? 4. Any other suggestions on detecting what type of video file is being processed? I suppose looking at file extensions is another method, though I like the idea of mime type detection over file extension examination.
