This behavior has been resolved and deployed to the production environment as of 11/13/23.
Description
When recording media either through the Record Media section in the RCE or as part of a submission comment, it is saved to the User/Course Uploaded Media folder without a file extension.
Expected Behavior
Instead it should have an appropriate extension added.
Workaround
No workaround exists at this time.
Steps to Reproduce
-
Prerequisite: Published course.
-
Go to a place with the RCE, such as creating a page and make a new recording using the Record Media option.
-
Once the recording is saved, go to the course Uploaded Media to view the file.
-
Notice there is no file extension added to the saved file and downloading the file doesn't have a file extension either.
