if i understand correctly you can click that link, choose the option ''save as'', download it to you hd and watch it. but you if you click the link and choose ''open'', your video player opens but doesn''t show any content. correct? if so i don''t think it''s a problem with your rails app, but with your operating system. because as i understand it, the file gets send correctly. maybe try another video-player. are you able to open other videos on the net (maybe upload one to a ftp and open it with your browser)? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

alright, then let''s take a look at your code... how does it work? do you store your files in a folder inside your public-directory and filename points to that location? or do you store your files inside your database? what exactly is Movie.file and Movie.filename? the following line throws me off (don''t understand it): render :text => @movie.file what could help is a look at send_file: http://api.rubyonrails.org/classes/ActionController/Streaming.html#M000401 or even the improvement x_send_file: http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoSendFilesFast --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.

I believe that the usual thing when sending files is to use the webserver''s filestreaming rather than rendering the file as text. Try something like send_file @movie.file_path, :disposition => :attachment The disposition attachment option is actually set by default, but it will provide the behavior you want of downloading, instead of trying to open in the browser On Feb 12, 10:59 pm, Deepak Mahajan <rails-mailing-l...-ARtvInVfO7ksV2N9l4h3zg@public.gmane.org> wrote:> Hitesh Rawal wrote: > > Deepak Mahajan wrote: > >> MaD wrote: > >>> if i understand correctly you can click that link, choose the option > >>> ''save as'', download it to you hd and watch it. but you if you click > >>> the link and choose ''open'', your video player opens but doesn''t show > >>> any content. correct? > > >>> if so i don''t think it''s a problem with your rails app, but with your > >>> operating system. because as i understand it, the file gets send > >>> correctly. maybe try another video-player. are you able to open other > >>> videos on the net (maybe upload one to a ftp and open it with your > >>> browser)? > > >> Hi MaD, > > >> Yes your understanding is correct as u mentioned in first. > >> But I am able to open other videos on the net. > > >> I am a new I don''t know why this link not prompt me(to download or > >> open_with). > >> but when I make a link of stored file it prompt correctly.
