Successfully means the file reach YouTube, processd and go live as well as has correct link in the video node on Drupal.

For me, video under 50MB uploaded successfully. Video between 50 to 100MB sometime works, but never successfully when the video go beyond 100MB.

What's your experience???

Youtube used to have a policy of 1GB, or 10 minutes in length, whichever came first.

If you are getting failed uploads, the watchdog errors may be of some use.

Even YouTube has the policy of 1GB, or 10 minutes in length, whichever came first. However, I never uploaded any video beyond 100MB.

So I raised this issue here in order to make sure the "Timeout" caused by the upload traffic and/or Large video is critical during video uploading to YouTube. Related in 2 other posts from me: #455176: Large video files keep loading to Youtube as the orphaned video and didn't link to the original video node and #489586: Recovery mechanism when cron_video_upload timeout.

It used to be 100MB for the upload API, but it was just increased to 1GB it looks like.. i don't know that much about how the module works but "you can't do chunked encoding on mime-multipart messages" That's a bit over my head.

hmm, happydrupal isn't that happy.

I can't get any videos to upload anymore so you are one up on me. did you try setting your execution time really high?

I added this to my .htaccess file so i could rule timeouts out as an issue:

php_value max_input_time 1200
php_value max_execution_time 1200

I had already set php_value max_execution_time to 2000 already...........

I should also set the php_value max_input_time to 1200 and try again. Thanks.

What's the official way to make it stop uploading duplicates? I'm getting that now with a video that was around 50MB
