I tried to use Remote to upload some rather large video (which works through the browser) and the Remote java program just hangs and says: "preparing to upload..."

I waited for a long time and nothing happened. I think that Gallery is well suited for other than pictures hosting as well. What should I do so that Remote would upload other files as well ? I've tried deactivating thumbnail preview and everything, the server's configured and running smoothly and there are no problems with file size limitting or stuff like this. It's my own server and I can do everything I want with it and tried everything I could imagine.

Any hint ?

Could you post the GR log? FAQ: Log, what log?

Reading the log nothing apears out of place. No errors reported.
It seems that it just hangs (the uploading thread) because when pressing cancel (after a looong time) it says:

57875|ERROR| |Thread would not terminate properly: killing it1

So I was thinking that by assuming that the file is always a picture the application manages to get into trouble somewhere inside a hidden thread.

For pictures it works just great and it's faster and painless then uploading through the web browser. It would be great if it could work for other files as well (not especialy one or other kind of file).

I've also tried with smaller .avi files with the same result. Size of the file does not matter.

I am using Gallery Remote version 1.5.1-b30 and am currently unable to upload some larger AVI files (but can through the web interface) as mentioned above.

Back to square one. It was fun while it lasted :-)
With the latests version I have troubles again with video files and larger picture files.
