Hello, I'm trying (vainly) to show an uploaded file in the view of another object.

The file is an mp3 and uploads and plays fine using zaudio in it's own view. I want to get that zaudio into another object's view. I've managed to get the zaudio to appear by using the following code from the file object view:

 

if (elgg_view_exists('file/specialcontent/' . $mime)) {

echo "<div class=\"filerepo_specialcontent\">".elgg_view('file/specialcontent/' . $mime, $vars)."</div>";

} else if (elgg_view_exists("file/specialcontent/" . substr($mime,0,strpos($mime,'/')) . "/default")) {

echo "<div class=\"filerepo_specialcontent\">".elgg_view("file/specialcontent/" . substr($mime,0,strpos($mime,'/')) . "/default", $vars)."</div>";

}

The reason it's showing is because I've set the mimetype to the guid of my test file. However when I click play it stays on "buffering" forever. So it can read successfully from the test file in terms of mimetype which I've got in the following way:

$test_guid = $guid +1;

$testfile = get_entity($test_guid);

$mime = $testfile->mimetype;

But it doesn't seem to want to play the file. So I'm assuming somewhere in the code at the top I need to add the test file's guid somewhere.

Any help or direction is appreciated. I have searched (quite extensively) in the docs and API and on the community as well, so far with little or no luck.
