As reported by Michael Macnair in the mailing list (Thanks!):

media_types/__init__.py:109:
 if filename.find('.') > 0:

should be:

 if filename.find('.') >= 0:

Because otherwise files of the form "./blah.mp4" don't work, which happens with the localfiles plugin.

Ditto for line 87.

Cheers, Michael

Well, I have all sorts of PDFs being uploaded properly on the server. This one we will annex is simply not working.

This comes from paster log:

2015-07-06 05:26:34,170 DEBUG   [mediagoblin.tools.routing] endpoint: mediagoblin.submit.start view_func: mediagoblin.submit.views:submit_start
2015-07-06 05:26:34,187 INFO    [mediagoblin.media_types] No plugins handled extension .pdf
2015-07-06 05:26:34,187 INFO    [mediagoblin.media_types] No plugins using two-step checking found

Nothing useful shows up in media processing panel apart from upload failed.

We get the message of "whoa submitted" after uploading.

Currently, it doesn't support Python 3. I would update the code myself, but since it's a third-party dependency (e.g. in extlib/) I prefer to upgrade to a newer version.
