react-dropzone-uploader AVI file stuck on status "preparing"

With react-dropzone-uploader set up like this:

<Dropzone
  getUploadParams={ getUploadParams }
  onChangeStatus={ handleChangeStatus }
  accept='video/*'
  inputContent={ inputContent }
  styles={{
    dropzoneReject: { borderColor: 'red', backgroundColor: '#DAA' }
    , inputLabel: ( files, extra ) => ( extra.reject ? { color: 'red' } : {} )
  }}
/>

Uploading a 250mb .avi file gets stuck in "preparing" status. Suggestions?

Works fine with mp4 files.

const getUploadParams = meta => ::
  return ::
    url: '/'

Solution

this bug was just fixed in 2.10.2.

I just pushed a fix in 2.10.2 that ensures that generatePreview returns a promise that never takes more than 1s to resolve or reject.

This way file types for which onload or onloadedmetadata aren't called don't return promises that hang forever.

1s is still more than enough time to get the metadata for even huge (~5gb files), but isn't so long that it's a huge annoyance for file types that don't support metadata retrieval.

Sorry it took a while to get this fixed, I've been busy at work and not until recently did I have time to spend on maintaining and improving RDU.
