We’re going to be using a dedicated server for hosting some large media files and want to treat them as documents in SPIP. Unfortunately, it doesn’t seem to work: we can upload an FLV file as an attachment successfully, but attempting to « reference a document on the Internet » with the same file on our media instead does not work. When attempting to do so, the action appears to time-out with no result: no document is added, no message displayed, nothing.
Does anyone have any insight as to why this might be the case and how we might work around the problem? The site uses SPIP 1.9.2c, the forms and tables plugin, and the files we’re trying to upload are FLVs (which we’ll treat with a modified emb.html model).

I am not sure, but I think SPIP tries to download the file once to create a
thumbnail etc. If it's a big file, maybe this will timeout
I don't know if there is a workaround to that, maybe disabling the automatic
generation of thumbnails will help.
there might be some error reporting in tmp/spip.log, check there.
