conundris / youtube-upload Goto Github PK

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Take a video that ffmpeg chops incorrectly
2. Launch youtube-upload on it
3. Observe only the first chunk to be uploaded

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
0.5

We thought in this issue that the 15-minute limit was removed:

http://code.google.com/p/youtube-upload/issues/detail?id=29

But it's not (at least for standard users). I've removed the ffmpeg spliting 
from the python script so we need to write a separate one (bash?) to deal with 
it. So it will not be built-in, but still available for users which do not know 
how to do it.

youtube_upload.py uses /usr/bin/python2 interpretor, which is not present on 
ubuntu 10.04 machines.

The ffmpeg command used for splitting converts the video to avi:
ffmpeg -v 1 -sameq -i ../mkv/67.mkv -ss 7200 -t 900 -y 67.part9.avi

The additional codec conversion reduced video quality, which can be avoided if 
"-vodec copy" option of ffmpeg would be used.

In this case .mkv container format should be used as it is more versatile in 
holding various video and audio codecs than .avi container is.

gdata.service.CaptchaRequired?: Captcha Required

====================

That's pretty much it.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Downloaded youtube-upload 0.5
2. Started the script using the following command
./youtube_upload.py [email protected] mypassword test.flv "test1" "test2" 
"test3" "tag1,tag2"
3. Observe "assertion error" message

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
0.5 on linux ubuntu hardy (8.04)

Please provide any additional information:
See the attached file for the full output of the command. The resulting files 
were (note the obviously wrong too-short test-2.mkv file):

# ls -l test*
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 114093046 2010-11-26 11:01 test-1.mkv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root     71119 2010-11-26 11:01 test-2.mkv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root         0 2010-11-26 11:01 test-3.mkv
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 115459866 2010-11-26 10:07 test.flv

I can post the original file if that would help.

Zeroes padding of the chunk number would prevent misordering of the chunks when 
they are operated on from CLI:

$ ls
a.part10.mkv
a.part11.mkv
a.part12.mkv
a.part1.mkv
a.part2.mkv
a.part3.mkv
a.part4.mkv
a.part5.mkv
a.part6.mkv
a.part7.mkv
a.part8.mkv
a.part9.mkv
$

two digits parts should be enough for everyone - even with 15minutes limit of 
youtube the scheme would allow enough chunks for 25hours of video.

(I tend to upload shows, which are of about 3+ hours long).

I don't see an option to set the video's film date or creation date in other 
words.  It would be nice!

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Youtube-upload splits and upload the files
2. Once the internet link fails, I restarted youtube-upload, but it does
not resume, starts resplitting and reuploading the files

Is it possible to add a resume capability?

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

youtube-upload-0.3.tgz
gdata-2.0.10.tar.gz
XUbuntu 10

youtube is blocked in China,so i decided to use my us vps (virtual private 
server)to upload videos 
but with python2.5,python g-data and ffmpeg installed, there's still an error.

File "youtube_upload.py", line 33, in?    from xml.etree import 
ElementTreeImportError: No module named etree

---
then what to do?or i'm wrong at first?..help me please..

From the Readme:

"Dependencies: python-gdata (>= 1.2.4)"

youtube provides a way to create playlist of videos. Can youtube-upload program 
create such playlist for videos chunked into multiple pieces?

See the playlist I created manually for an example:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_tMsJM6PnM&playnext=1&list=PLFF40D9428386FC9A

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Have an account with the 15 minute limit removed
2. Upload a video longer than 15 minutes
3. Observe success

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
N/A

Please provide any additional information:
A simple flag to disable video splitting would be nice. Users who have this 
limit removed know who they are (It notifies them on the Upload page).

1. The youtube video service has elimilated the limitation of film duration. 
Could you please update the code to meet the new rules.

2. Suggestion: Provide an option for films not to be processed by ffmpeg. Or 
provides quality parameters. Because youtube provides HD or FullHD conversion. 
So ffmpeg preprocessor should be configurable.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
Archlinux recently switched the /usr/bin/python link from python2 to
python3 so youtube-upload is started as a python3 script.

I attached a simple fix.

Thank you for this great software.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download this file:

2. Run this command: ./youtube-upload.py [email protected] passwordhere
DataretPlen1EN051213.wmv "DataRetention debate in the European Parliament
(EN)" "DataRetention debate in the European Parliament (EN)" "Tech" "data,
isp, retention, police, surveillance"
3. Here it loops forever:

Segmentation fault

The Upload works, yet it does not return the URL any more. I get a Segmentation 
fault before. Any way to located the problem ?

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Download this file: http://holyshit.fr/HolyShit.mp4 (It's quite big, 429MB)
2. Use this command: youtube-upload [email protected] passwordhere
HolyShit.mp4 "HolyShit ! TF2 Team Fragmovie" "test" "Games" "tag1"
3. The video is 9min47sec long (for 429MB), I think the issue is that the
script tries to split it while it's not necessary (and fails for some reason).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
It says:

The video was encoded with ffmpeg with x264 codec.

Anyway, thanks for your script, works perfectly with my smaller vids :)

Steps to reproduce:

1. prepare video file for upload
2. split file for upload with youtube-upload script

Expected output: 10min files of the same quality as original file

Used revision: 47

Size comparison (du -sh *):

Find attached to this bug the generic version of the script I wrote to split 
and upload bunch of videos, which spillted chunks organized by playlist.

Feel free to add this to the examples directory of the youtube-upload SVN.

Something that would be great and very useful would be to be able to throttle 
the uploads with something like the option that is available with RSYNC.
Something like --bwlimit=KBPS. 
That's all.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1.I have a video with a single image and a nearly 2 hour audio file mixed with 
ffmpeg - file is ok, but uploading does not work correctly
2.The splitting does return 4 parts => about 57 minutes

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
latest svn, debian lenny

After lots of testing in my Dev envt I have hit a issue on my Production 
server.  My hosting company only give me Python 2.4.3.

I suspect this is a issue as this "from xml.etree import ElementTree" command 
seems to kill the script.

Do you know of any work arounds, or am I stuck, and really need a new host with 
2.5 ?

thanks

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
0.4

Please provide any additional information:

When a playlist is created, it's url has client variable, which is not 
necessary:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/playlists/E73597E6FE293DAC?client=tokland-you
tube_upload

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Add some parameter (like for example -nosplit)
2. Video is being uploaded in one piece.
3. Done :)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
An uploaded video that is not splitted even if bigger than 1GB/10 minutes

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Not yet using, but planing to do so - with this fix, it would be great ;)

Please provide any additional information below.
Youtube has partner-accounts that also allow upload of files, that are longer 
than 10 minutes or bigger than 1GB - but only if you are acceppted in the 
partner-programm (youtube.com/partners).

I wanted to know if it would be possible to add an option "split, no 
reencode".

I have a big video file in H264 I want to upload to Youtube, and I would like 
to use the "-vcodec copy -acopy copy" options of ffmpeg, but I don't know 
where to modify the code.

Remove splitting feature or an off switch?

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. get package
2. unpack package
3. run setup.py

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
Using version 0.5 on OSX.

Please provide any additional information:
When I try to run the install script I get an error saying No module named

One of my videos have following Duration: 03:08:41.55.

The 08 minutes is treated by bash as an octal value, thus generating error

Hello mate, can I make two requests please.

1) A option for calling a second function that can query youtube in a 
approperiate amount of time to see if the file is finished processing and if 
not wait and try again in a bit until it reports its finished.

2) Once finished processing a option to call a third function, Not sure if 
youtube allow this or not, but a option to re-download the processed file.

thanks

Currently the python scripts uses the Youtube API to upload the video. The API 
provides no way to show the upload progress status, but you can also upload the 
file with a standard HTTP post. 

There is an option+script to take advantage of this 
(examples/upload_with_curl.sh), but wouldn't it be better to implement directly 
it in the python script with pycurl?

Thans in advance

I do not programm python at all

Sometimes uploader throws error:

If I retry the upload immediately afterwards, the upload works.

Can you make the uploader scripts to make 3 attempts with 10 seconds sleep

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

On Youtube page i've saw this tags in 4 tags:
tag
2st
very
long

instead of 3:
tag
2st tag
very long tag

I suppose that's incorrect

Hello, this is a great tool, I just got it working.  I am brand new to python, 
so sorry if this is a simple request.   I am getting my file from MySQL which 
to upload, its going great.  But I would love to then update the row it came 
from (searchable by the file name) in MySQL with the YouTube Video ID (or in 
the case of a split video create duplicate rows, each with a unique YouTube 
Video ID.

I am sure I can do the MySQL Part.  But are you able to let me know how I 
capture the one or multiple Video IDs as they come back please?

thanks

What version of youtube-upload are you using? On what operating system?
0.4, and Linux Redhat

First a captcha issue. Then updated to newest version (svn). Now i get this. I 
doubt the username/password is wrong.

YouTube videos can be Public, Private, or Unlisted. For Private we have an 
option --private, but is there a way to upload/create Unlisted video? 
Thanks.

Please help, I'm getting an error message when trying to upload video file to 
YouTube. Since even Windows users here are reporting youtube-upload as working 
on their systems, it must be something wrong with my setup.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. python.exe youtube_upload.py -n [email protected] password P.MOV "P.MOV" 
"2010-08-23" "People" "some tags"

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I'd expect the video file uploads to YouTube. Error message is displayed 
instead:

Would you like to bundle some directory monitoring and upload bash scripts? 
Along the same lines as the upload_with_curl.sh example.

Scripts attached.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. --private goes private.. without it they go public.. no inbetween?
