[BUG] Cannot upload video with .MOV extension - wrong MIME type #1913

w00tlarr · 2023-03-01T14:31:04Z

The bug

Uploading .MOV files will throw a 400undefined error notification. File uploaded from Windows 11 Microsoft Edge and Chrome. Although interestingly enough, if I copied the file from PC to my Android phone and uploaded it, it'll work with Android Samsung Internet browser. In logs, no matter both PC and mobile Adroid - this error is on the server logs:

Reproduction steps

1. Upload a .MOV file regardless of size in Microsoft Edge or Chrome in PC
2. Got Notification - Error Cannot upload file IMG_0032.MOV  Request failed with status code 400undefined
3. Checked immich-server logs

Additional information

Unsupported file type .MOV file MIME type video/mov. This seems to have taken the file extension and place as video/>fileextension<. It should be "video/quicktime" as MIME type. File was extracted from iPhone to PC using Windows Photos.

w00tlarr · 2023-03-01T14:43:30Z

Forgot to mention - if I renamed the file with a .qt extension - it works without errors. Also my *.MOV filename is all in caps if it matters.

alextran1502 · 2023-03-01T14:46:02Z

Is the file something you can share with us for troubleshooting?

w00tlarr · 2023-03-01T14:52:23Z

LOL! interestingly I can't upload it to github as .MOV so I've zipped it up.
ITFZ2686.zip

It does play OK with Media Player Classic in Windows 11.

michelheusschen · 2023-03-01T15:03:31Z

Might be something funky with MOV as container format going on, possibly in combination with the H.265 codec. When I rename this file to just .mp4 it gets uploaded via web without issues and on the server it corrects the MIME type to video/quicktime.

Edit: it doesn't correct to video/quicktime, but saves it as video/mp4. Playback is then possible because the file gets transcoded.

jrasm91 · 2023-03-01T15:20:45Z

At the end of the day you can only upload files that pass our content type check. video/mov will be denied with a bad request, while video/quicktime will be accepted. The content type is determined by the client. In chrome (for linux), uploading to the web, the file works perfectly, and chrome sends the expected mimetype of video/quicktime.

The question or "issue", more generally, is "why does x send video/mov instead of video/quicktime" and the answer comes down to different clients have different ways of inferring (guessing) the correct content type and it looks like not all of them are getting this one right.

Looks like there is even an exif tag for mime type and it is set to video/quicktime:

samip5 · 2023-03-01T15:38:04Z

Hmm, I wonder if there actually is some MOV's that are actually non-quicktime videos according to exiftool..
I think we should be accepting video/mov as well.

jrasm91 · 2023-03-01T15:57:07Z

Yeah, there's a few different ways to address the issue, which I did not give an opinion about, but that's what is happening and why it is happening 😄

w00tlarr · 2023-03-02T00:18:09Z

LOL! I must check my ADHD on these things... Googled high and low and found this gem:
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/1201945/how-is-mime-type-of-an-uploaded-file-determined-by-browser

So - I did what it said and is indeed very OS specific. In Windows, need to update Registry at:
Computer \ HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT \ .mov

The current key I have for Content Type is video/mov. Changed it to video/quicktime and reloaded the video at my Immich web instance and it worked!

So it is very OS/client specific then. May have to consider to allow video/mov or check with exiftool during upload.

Loving Immich so far! Thanks for a great app.

jrasm91 · 2023-03-02T00:21:37Z

I think accepting video/mov would be an acceptable solution.

w00tlarr · 2023-03-11T16:05:43Z

Ouch - I ran into the same for .AVI files which is video/avi instead of video/x-msvideo.
Any advice for Windows if need to install apps or codecs that will update the registry to its proper mimetype?

I guess I have to go thru the registry to set it up manually then. At least on the videos and images that I care to upload to Immich.

jrasm91 · 2023-03-27T12:55:47Z

We can probably add support this this one as well. Can you open a separate issue to track it?

samip5 · 2023-04-08T13:01:16Z

Support for MOV should be implemented as of #2045, eg included in Immich version 1.52.0.
