Okay, I have looked as much as I can in my limited amount of time.

I have a project due to be beta launched in just a week or so. I need to get this module figured out.

I have everything configged the way it should be based on your instructions. Nonetheless, everytime I create the node (calling it VideoCast) it seems to upload the video send it to Blip.TV and stop there.

When I go to look at the newly created node there is no embedded video from Blip.TV.

I don't know if I am missing something somewhere or not. I decided to turn on the ad feature with Blip.TV (of course any financial help is great), but I don't know if that is what is causing it.

Can you help?

Is your file deleted from your web server ? If yes, maybe

- your VideoCast does not have an embedded video field in it
- there is a typo when you typed your Embeded Video Field name on the Media Action configuration page

If not, maybe the timeout is too small (you are uploading large videos, or connection to bliptv is slow). Try increasing the value on the configuration page.

About the ad feature, I never tested it so I cant say. Maybe it modifies the answer we get back from blip and the module has difficulty parsing it. But I would be surprised. You can try turning it off to see if it makes things work.

I have done as much as I can to try to modify to the basics. I have checked for typos. I have increased the connection. I do not understand what is going on. Blip.TV gets the video there. I mean once I upload it takes a few moments for the video to show up there, but it's there. It would seem that for some reason it has issues getting the embed code back to my site.

Any ideas?

- Sorry,
I was going to ask if there is something specific I need to to with Blip.TV besides have a basic account. I don't need to sign up for the premium or anything do I?

You dont need anything special on bliptv; I tested it with a simple free account, and it worked.

If you are of the programmer type, you could try to see what is happening around line 437 in media_actions.inc, either by printing some traces, or by using a debugger.

Another way to see if you got the embed code is to edit the node that contains the video. Under the embedded video field, you should see the embed code. Something like (bliptv ID: 505105).

Other things I may think of:
- in Embedded Media Field configuration, make sure you enabled BlipTV
- have you try uploading a video as admin, to be sure it is not a permission problem ?

I have checked all of that (except around line 437, i'm not really a programmer).

Here is what shows up in my embedded video field:
http://blip.tv/file/622293/
If you actually click on that link it crashes my browser. I don't know what that is.
As far as uploading as admin...that is all I have done with uploading.

How can I fix this?

For those of you who who were awaiting the conclusion of this issue, epstudios needed to install a patched version of emfield.

The patch is availaible on http://drupal.org/node/192492, but it does not work against the latest emfield release. I should be releasing a new patch soon.
