When using the 'Video convert on node submit' no custom field data is being saved in the node. I have around 8 custom fields that are 'required' and present when the node form is submitted.

The node is actually saved, but only with vid, uid, title, nid, type and timestamps etc.

The only error being reported in the log at all, appears when the transcoder tries to return the video back to the node field. "The field to which video file was uploaded doesn't seem to exist anymore. Entity type: node, entity id: 1228, field name: field_zencoder_video, field language: und, delta: 0".

Clearly the error is due to the field data failing to save in the first place, but there is no error in log.

I'm currently using the Zencoder transcoder option, and have this working fine when 'Video convert on node submit' is not enabled (i.e on cron).

To make things even more murky; if I create a node first, but dont upload a video, and then go back and edit, and then upload the video and re-save with the option ''Video convert on node submit'' - then things do work as expected.

Any ideas as to how I can tie this down?

Using the following versions:

Core 7.8
Video 7.x-2.6
Video Presets 7.x-2.1
Libraries 7.x-2.0-alpha2
Zencoder API 2.0.2

Thanks,

Could you try video module version 7.x-2.x-dev?

I'm having the same problem myself.

Per Jorrit's suggestion, I installed the Video 7.x-2.x-dev version, but when I enabled it the thumbnails of all my videos went blank. Editing a video caused the main site to whitescreen as well, but thankfully I was able to access the admin menu and roll back the module installation.

I'm using:

Drupal 7.14
Video 7.x-2.6
Libraries 7.x-2.0-alpha2
Zencoder 1.2

Could you take a look in your webserver error logs to see if there is an error related to this white screen? I am very interested in the error message, because I want to release 7.x-2.x-dev soon as 2.7 and I want to fix this bugs before I release it.

I'll see if I can reproduce it.

Just to confirm. The latest dev release did solve my original problem (was something to do with the Rules module - if I remember correct).

Mouser - What version of the video module did you try to upgrade from? And did you run the update script after updating? There's been quite a few changes to way thumbnails are handled....so I'd be looking in that direction.

I was experiencing this exact same issue, and it looks like this has been fixed by upgrading to the 2.7 version of the module. I'm marking it as fixed.
