  Uploaded media not being saved on file system

  Jan 24, 2013 05:50 PM|LINK

  Im trying yo upload a video. The video has to be converted from its original video format to an .swf format. To conver the video i am using ffmpeg. To play the video i am using an swf player.

  The problem is that when i upload a video file (either wmv, mpeg of avi) the file is not being saved in the file system but the details are saved in the database. What would cause this error.

  This is the c# code i have for the ffmpeg and for saving the database details.

  Default.aspx

      {
          if (FileUpload1 != null || FileUpload1.PostedFile != null)
          {
              postedfilename = FileUpload1.PostedFile.FileName;
              SavePath = AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory + "Video\\";
              string NewFName = postedfilename;
              NewFName = NewFName.Substring(NewFName.LastIndexOf("\\") + 1, NewFName.Length - NewFName.LastIndexOf(".")) + "." + NewFName.Substring(NewFName.LastIndexOf(".") + 1);
              Filenamewithpath = SavePath + NewFName;

              }
              proc.WaitForExit();
              proc.Close();

              thumbproc.StartInfo.RedirectStandardOutput = false;
              try
              {
  
                  thumbproc.Start();
  
              }
              catch (Exception ex)
              {
                  Response.Write(ex.Message);
              }
              thumbproc.WaitForExit();
              thumbproc.Close();
  
              File.Delete(inputfile);
              lblmsg.Text = "Video Uploaded Successfully";
              hyp.Visible = true;
              hyp.NavigateUrl = "Play.aspx";
          }
      }
  
      private void Savedetails()
      {
          string filename, imgname;
          filename = Session["outputfile"].ToString();
          imgname = Session["thumbname"].ToString();
          SqlConnection con = new SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings["VideoConnectionString"].ConnectionString);
          con.Open();
          SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand("insert into Videos(Video_File,Video_Image) values('" + filename + "','" + imgname  + "')", con);
          cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
          cmd.Dispose();
          con.Close();
      }
  }

  is there an error in the code? or is there another way to convert the upload video files to swf.

  Any ideas please help?

  remove the try/catch and let the error flow.

  I do see that you are avinf the file using SaveAs of FileUpload and then at the end of code you are Removinf the file using File.Delete()...i think thaat is the reason whhy you are not able to see the file...

  Thanks

  Hi,

  From the code you provided, it seems like OK. In order to resolve your issue, please debug step by step and see whether filename and imgname exist. And check whether there is an exception is thrown out when execute the sql statement.
