Currently using this node module to upload a video to facebook successfully, however we're struggling to see how we could go about setting a specific image as the video's thumbnail, any ideas?

const fs = require('fs');
const fbUpload = require('facebook-api-video-upload');

const args = {
token: "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX", // with the permission to upload
id: "XXXXXXXXXXXXX", //The id represent {page_id || group_id}
stream: fs.createReadStream('./video.mkv'), //path to the video,
title: "my video",
description: "my description",
thumb: {
value: fs.createReadStream('./video.jpg'),
options: {
filename: 'fixture.jpg',
contentType: 'image/jpg'
}
}
// if you want the default thumb from the video just remove the field
// you can add any extra fields from the api https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/page/videos/#Creating
// all keys except token, id, stream are passed to the final request
};

fbUpload(args).then((res) => {
console.log('res: ', res);
//res: { success: true, video_id: '1838312909759132' }
// https://www.facebook.com/100080206917420/videos/1062597247944821/
}).catch((e) => {
console.error(e);
});

This example work fine in pc but when upload big files it failed bcz my server has low ram (512mb)
Im newbie :)

is their a way we can implement this in the browser with progress bar using javaScript...?

When specifying in the arguments if the post is published or not I get this error
TypeError [ERR_INVALID_ARG_TYPE]: The first argument must be one of type string or Buffer. Received type boolean
How to specify a true or false preference?

Why?
uri: ${url}/v2.6/${args.id}/videos,

Graph API version is hardcoded in the index.js file. It would be great if you could expose that as an argument to the function so that I can use the latest version of Graph API, i.e v7.0

Hi there

I'm getting an "error: (#100) No permission to publish the video" when try to upload a video

I'm getting it on both - using your package and using Web JS SDK

I did everything what Facebook says, but still no luck(

explained in details it here
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52651061/facebook-js-sdk-100-no-permission-to-publish-the-video-error

Could please check it, maybe you will have some idea..

Thank you

Is this deprecated?

I keep getting a 100 error when sending a video, and from what i can tell i have the right api access, unless i've missed one

Showing percent/amount uploaded, upload speed etc. would be useful.

Using this in a production app and have recently started seeing this error

TypeError: streamToPromise(...).then(...).spread is not a function

at facebookApiVideoUpload (/var/app/current/node_modules/facebook-api-video-upload/index.js line 96 col 4)

Is it working now? And how to get the long lasting token?

Hi,

The script seems to work but can we make it to upload videos on user profiles as well?

Script error:

Thanks.

This wrapper does return successful when the video has been uploaded, however there is no way to see when the video has finished processing after upload. I did not expect it to help in this manner, as implementing this as suggested by Facebook involves registering web-hooks to your app and waiting for a callback from Facebook. However there seems to be a way to solve it without web-hooks, my idea revolves around the idea of checking the video-status field of the given video periodically to see if the status field equals "ready" signaling video being completely uploaded and processed.

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/graph-api/reference/video-status/

I will go about implementing this, but i really do wonder if anyone has any better ideas.

Anyway, great plugin makes video upload much less of a hassle.

Might update with my not so perfect solution to this, might decide to just go with the web-hook thing.

I want to configure public video blocking and set secret mode without knowing how to configure it. The config always returns an error. Can you help me with this .. thanks

Hi,

I installed the package with npm.. but even with usage in the readme I am still not sure how to actually "use" it. Is there any way you can expand on the details any for usage?

can you please suggest a guideline to generate tokens?

I'm running the sample code for video upload with my own credentials, using the latest version (v1.2.0) but it exits with the following error:

node upload.js
/Users/kr/Documents/node_modules/facebook-api-video-upload/index.js:36
return rp(options).then(res => ({ ...res, id: video_id }));
^^^
SyntaxError: Unexpected token ...

at Module._compile (module.js:571:32)

With version v1.1.1 it works just fine (but it doesn't return the video id after upload).

The following is my environment:
-OS: macos sierra
-node: v7.2.1
-npm: v3.10.9

Hi,

I have a question, is there anyway to get uploaded percent? Thanks.

Dear Team,

I can not upload file large 2GB, It seems it is over max buffer size?

Unhandled rejection RangeError [ERR_INVALID_OPT_VALUE]: The value "2385986836" is invalid for option "size" at Function.allocUnsafe (buffer.js:275:3) at Function.concat (buffer.js:460:23) at concat (/var/upfb/node/node_modules/stream-to-promise/index.js:26:21) at <anonymous> at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:118:7)

How can I solve this problem? Thanks Team

Hi !

I've just tested your module and it works. Thanks a lot!

How can I add parameters that Facebook allows ?
