PHP Error about craft-embedded-assets HOT 10 CLOSED

Ok no worries Ben - I'll do some digging and let you know if I find anything. Otherwise I'll assume it's down to their Windows hosting. Thank you for your time :)

Hey Daryl, thanks for the report!

The fileinfo extension needs to be enabled. If there's a warning sign next to it, it might be an old or broken version of the extension.

Funnily enough, I only introduced the need for the fileinfo extension to fix a bug (#17) about mime_content_type() not working in some later versions of PHP (5.3+). It wouldn't be hard to add back in mime_content_type() as a fallback.

Thanks Ben - it's not a site I host so I've put in a request to their company to enable it. Any idea off the top of your head if there's a specific version of it that needs to be enabled?

Unfortunately, I can't say what it could be. I figured with it fresh in my mind, and being an easy fix, I've gone ahead and written a fallback if the fileinfo extension isn't usable. It should be available on the master branch. Let me know if it does or doesn't work 👍

Thanks Ben. That seems to let me upload assets again, but I can't get them to display in my template. Your example code has worked fine on other sites, so I'm wondering if there's an issue with the uploaded files or detection.

{% for video in block.asset %}
    <p>{{ video.title }}</p>
    {% set embed = craft.embeddedAssets.fromAsset(video) %}
    <p>Length: {{ embed|length }}</p>
    {% if embed %}
        {{ embed.safeHtml|raw }}
    {% endif %}
{% endfor %}

The code above outputs the video's title, so Craft knows the asset is there and exists, but it also outputs Length: 0, so it looks like EA isn't recognising it as an asset. Am I correct in thinking that's what's going on? Where am I going wrong?

Hm, that's interesting. It seems like the file isn't being read. I'm using two methods of reading the contents of the JSON file, through cURL, and file_get_contents as a fallback. Pretty low chance of both of those not being available, but it might be the case. Do you know if the curl extension is enabled?

from craft-embedded-assets.

cURL support has a green tick next to it in /utils

Also, just to be safe, can you check the contents of the JSON file that gets generated? Want to make sure it's being uploaded okay.

Everything seems like it should be fine. Clearly the problem is in reading the file, but I'm not sure why that would be failing. If you locate the _readExternalFile method in EmbeddedAssetsService, this is where the file is being read. Try adding in some var_dump(); exit;'s on some of the variables, to see where it's breaking. curl_error() might be throwing an error that I'm just ignoring.

Sorry I can't be much more of a help!
