Hi,
looking at the source code of media.php. I guess you can define
additional mimetypes in controller action which uses media view. Just
define your mime types array and set it to the view using $this->set
('mimeType', $myAdditionalMimeTypes); . These will be merged in render
function with the default ones defined in media.php.
Hope that helps.
