Configuring the ECL Multimedia Type after an upgrade to SDL Tridion Sites 9.1
When upgrading to SDL Tridion Sites 9.1, the External Content Library Multimedia Type is not created automatically, but requires manual creation.
External Content Library comes as one of the default multimedia types with new installations of SDL Tridion Sites 9 (or later). When upgrading to SDL Tridion Sites 9.1, the External Content Library Multimedia Type is not created automatically, but requires manual creation. If you have not previously created the External Content Library Multimedia Type, you need to do so now in order to use Multimedia Components.
An SDL Tridion Sites system administrator can add additional Multimedia Types to the Content Manager. For instructions, refer to the topic on creating new Multimedia Types, and when specifying the properties for the type, use the MIME type and extension, as follows:
- Name
- Any name you wish for External Content Library (ECL), but we suggest the installation default: External Content Library
- MIME Type
- application/externalcontentlibrary
- File Extensions
- ecl
