Background of the issue:
I am trying to use the Media Translation feature to upload a new file, specifically an mp4 file.

Symptoms:
The upload process stops when trying to upload mp4 files.

Questions:
Why does the upload stop for mp4 files?
Is there a file size limit or format restriction for media uploads?

Hello,

Such limit is not set by WPML, but on the server and it seems to be set to 384M.

How big is your media file?

Do you have the same issue trying to upload the same file to the media library?

Best regards
Andreas

87.2 MBs, so that cannot be it. It just stops ad a random percentage. When I reload I can start it again but it will still stop again.

Hi,

I would like to offer to take a closer look and request temporary access (wp-admin and FTP) to the site to investigate the issue further.

The required fields are below the comment section when you log in to leave the next reply. The information you provide is private, meaning only you and I can see and access it.

IMPORTANT
Please be sure to back up the site and database before granting us access.

If you can't see the "wp-admin / FTP" fields, your post and site login details will be set to "PUBLIC". DO NOT publish the data unless you see the required wp-admin / FTP fields.

I may need to install a plugin called "All In One WP Migration" here to create a copy of the site that I can use to investigate the issue further.

However, I would also be very grateful if you could provide a staging site or copy of the website from your server for this purpose.

If you have any questions about creating such a staging site, you can consult your hosting provider. Please note that WPML must also be registered on this staging site at https://wpml.org/de/account/websites/.

If you are not able to provide such a copy of the website for testing, please let me know on this ticket.

The private reply form looks like this:
