Sharing files on Patter

[Sascha-1]

When I go to
safe://patter.dapp/#/home
I seem to be able to share a .jpg file, but not a .mp3 file.

Thanks a lot @Sascha-1 for reporting it, we'll take a look and try to fix it.

@Sascha-1 Thank you for testing. Which part of the process does not work? Is it when you attempt to upload the file? Is it when you attempt to view the file?

I just tested and I'm able to upload an mp4 but I can't view due to this safe_browser issue.

I'm wondering if it has to do with the file size @hunterlester @Sascha-1
Can you please share what the filesize is of the mp3 file you were trying with @Sascha-1 ?

[Sascha-1]

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I've had some personal computer problems.

I tried sharing the attached file to @bochaco 's Patter, but the post just disappears. It's a 6.9 MB .mp3.
However, if I zip the file to 6.8 MB the attachment goes through. I'm attaching the zipped version here. Please remove it if you think attaching it was a bad idea.

thanks a lot @Sascha-1 , I just gave it a try and it's simply because the mime type audio/mpeg is not in the list of supported types in the multicodec project (https://github.com/bochaco/js-multicodec/blob/mime-types-as-codecs/src/base-table.js#L466).

We should probably add it to the list, but I also see a problem in Patter which is faiiing when trying to fallback to storing it without a mime type. It seems to be a problem in the ImmD close function which invalidates the cipherOpt object used even if it failed due to an invalid mime type provided, as I see this error thrown after retrying (https://github.com/maidsafe/safe-patter-js/blob/master/src/actions/user_actions.js#L262) with "null" as mime type: -1010: Invalid Self Encryptor handle.
