I have installed the Media 4.3 module on DNN 6.2.5 and am getting an error when I select a video file which is .mp4.

Error: Media is currently unavailable.DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: folder ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: folder at DotNetNuke.Common.Requires.NotNull(String argName, Object argValue) at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.GetFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaController.GetFileFromProvider(Int32 portalId, IFolderInfo oFolder, String fileName) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaInfo.get_WebFriendlyUrl() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaMarkUpUtility.GetQuicktimeMarkUp(MediaInfo Media, ModuleInfo ModuleConfig) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaController.DisplayMedia(Int32 moduleId, Int32 tabId, Boolean isEditable, ModuleInfo config, PortalSettings settings) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaModule.BindData() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaModule.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I can't determine what parameter is null. I can see the mp4 file in File Manager okay. Originally, I did not have .mp4 in IIS or in DNN, but I have added it now and restarted IIS, cleared cache and recycled the app pool. Any ideas appreciated.

Seems that you can only use media in a root or first level folder - so this module has a big bug!

Yes! I upgraded to version 4.4 and DNN 7.0.6 and it fixed my previous problems. However, when I move the media down one level deeper in the folder structure, that error appears.

Error: Media is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: folder ---> System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. Parameter name: folder at DotNetNuke.Common.Requires.NotNull(String argName, Object argValue) at DotNetNuke.Services.FileSystem.FileManager.GetFile(IFolderInfo folder, String fileName) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Media.MediaController.GetFileFromProvider(Int32 portalId, IFolderInfo oFolder, String fileName) at ...

Also, I noticed that for .mp4 files playing from a DNN directory the settings of the width and height must be at least as big as the video width and height, otherwise the video does not appear. No auto-scaling, apparently, as it seems to be using Quicktime code in my case.

The folder issue bug only appeared in DNN 7.  I have not yet had time to trouble shoot it, but hope to be able to do so soon.  

Sorry for the inconvenience.  :(
