Having to handle audio WMA files as part of an upload script but I've run across a really annoying bug with the file type.
I need to only allow audio, NOT video but it seems that all WMA files have the type of :
video/x-ms-wma
Whether they contain video or not.
I was expecting :
audio/x-ms-wma
But this doesn't seem to be the case and it means that I can't validate the type correctly with javascript as :
file.type.match('audio.*')
Which is obviously failing here.
Are there any workarounds for this?
I had the same issue. It was a Chrome bug in my case.
Solved using regex: file.type.match(/audio|wma/)
This matches the text audio or wma.
