CodeIgniter: "The filetype you are attempting to upload is not allowed."

You are using Firefox, aren’t you?

You could try looking at system/libraries/Upload.php line 199:

$this->_file_mime_type($_FILES[$field]);

Change that line to:

$this->_file_mime_type($_FILES[$field]); var_dump($this->file_type); die();

Then do upload your .wmv file. It would show something like application/octet-stream or whatever. Add that to your mimes.php. Hope this help =)
