    Hi,
    I'm using the latest version of postie, checked if mov was in video accepted formats settings,
    But when I post from an iPhone, it sends the video with a mov extension, nothing happens except the text being posted.
    Can you help?
    Thank you!

    When you click on "run manually" from the settings page, you should get some info about mime type of attachments, in the form
    primary=video, secondary=mpeg

    or something like that. Check out what the mimetype is for your file, and make sure it is in the list for video.

    Hi, when I run the script manually with IMG1837.MOV attached, here's what I get :

    This is the postie plugin

    Email has following attachments:

    primary= multipart, secondary = mixed
    primary= text, secondary = plain
    primary= video, secondary = quicktime

    Catchable fatal error: Object of class WP_Error could not be converted to string in /[PATH]/wp-content/plugins/postie/postie-functions.php on line 1706

    The result is a draft with name "tmptitle" and body "tmoPost"

    I checked and mov is a supported extension in video settings.

    yep adding quicktime works. you also need to change the video size so the quicktime control buttons don't get cut off

    here are the settings for iphone 3GS (Settings-->Postie-->Video and Audio-->Video Template 1-->custom)

    <object classid="clsid:02BF25D5-8C17-4B23-BC80-D3488ABDDC6B" codebase="http://www.apple.com/qtactivex/qtplugin.cab" width="360"height="500"> <param name="src" value="{FILELINK}" /> <param name="autoplay" value="no" /> <param name="controller" value="true" /> <embed src="{FILELINK}" width="360" height="500"autoplay="no" controller="true" type="video/quicktime" pluginspage="http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/" width="360" height="500"></embed> </object>

    Postie Version 1.3.4, Wordpress Version 2.9.1

    The above worked for me when doing the manual update through the Postie options screen. But when doing it via cronless Postie or via the URL (/wp-content/plugins/postie/get_mail.php) directly, the template <object> element would get blanked out.

    I'm not a wordpress programmer, but I think that this has something to do with the apply_filters('content_save_pre',$content) function call. When run via 'check mail script manually', this function call returns the result of the template. But when run independently via a direct URL call, it returns a blank.

    I tried changing that function call into a simple

    "<pre>$content</pre>"

    but then in the wp_insert_post() function it would still get blanked out (I checked in the database), probably because of the same filters issue.

    It must have something to do with the initialization of the filters when called two different ways. BTW, the blog in question is private and requires a log-in, but when called in the same browser window (as opposed to cron/cronless) as I am already logged in, I don't think that this should matter.
