Description
Hi,
I'm trying to import some videos, that are inside the files folder (with all permisions) but the import is not generating any video.
My nodes are created, but the op_videos table (and, of course op_videos_files, ...) remains empty. The funny thing is that I can use the same path in "Create content -> video" and then the video gets transcoded and everything goes fine.
Any hint on what to check?
P.S: I'm not associating the video path from the .csv to the "preview image path", I already double-checked that...

#1
the node_import integration is a bit neglected. I'll give it some TLC, although it may have to wait until sept.
#2
I really need to be able to import the videos...
I opened that issue because the last time I imported some videos (while testing) it was with version 2.x
Now with 3.x it seems something is not as fine as it was.
Please let me know more details about what could be wrong... I only need to be able to import the original video path.
Thanks!
P.S: What TLC means?

TLC = tender loving care
I just gave the node import functionality a whirl and it seems to be working fine.
Are you entering the Filepath prefix on the options page? If the videos are in the directory 'files', then you need to put 'files' in that field.

Ok, I found where the problem is (and I feel stupid!)
I was using the full path into the .csv file (and I left the prefix empty, but I did it before (maybe 2.x) and it worked), like "files/myfolder1/video.wmv", and now I changed some paths to "myfolder1/video.wmv" and using the prefix it works.
So I think it's fine! I was waiting because you said it was a bit neglected, and thus, maybe not working for some reason.
Lesson learned: try, try and try before crying :)
Thanks!
