I used a the gracious PHP package from the codebird github repo. I love it so far but I’ve run into a problem on the “FINALIZE” step of the chunked video upload. It’s a 400 httpstatus with an “InvalidContent.” error code. Here is all my code and I’ll output my debugging output afterwards.
`function uploadVideo_twitter($file_location) {
$file = $file_location;
$size_bytes = filesize($file);
$this->debug($size_bytes, "file size");
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');
// INIT the upload
$reply = $this->cb->media_upload([
'command' => 'INIT',
'media_type' => 'video/mp4',
'total_bytes' => $size_bytes
]);
$this->debug($reply, "INIT");
$media_id = $reply->media_id_string;
$this->debug($media_id, "media_id");
// APPEND data to the upload
$segment_id = 0;
while (! feof($fp)) {
$chunk = fread($fp, 2000000); // 2MB per chunk for this sample
$reply = $this->cb->media_upload([
'command' => 'APPEND',
'media_id' => $media_id,
'segment_index' => $segment_id,
'media' => $chunk
]);
$this->debug($reply, "APPEND segment # $segment_id");
$segment_id++;
}
fclose($fp);
// FINALIZE the upload
$reply = $this->cb->media_upload([
'command' => 'FINALIZE',
'media_id' => $media_id
]);
$this->debug($reply, "FINALIZE");
if ($reply->httpstatus < 200 || $reply->httpstatus > 299) {
die();
}
// Now use the media_id in a Tweet
$reply = $this->cb->statuses_update([
'status' => 'Twitter now accepts video uploads.',
'media_ids' => $media_id
]);
}
`
The “INIT” and “APPEND” methods work and the filesize I’m uploading is right around 1mb and an mp4 video so theoretically all should be well. I downloaded the sample video I’m using here: http://www.sample-videos.com/video/mp4/360/big_buck_bunny_360p_1mb.mp4
Here is my debugging output

`
and just to give you an idea of my debug function so that you can see how the output is formatted:
` private function debug($var, $msg = "") {
if ($msg != "") {
echo "<br />$msg<br />";
}
echo "<pre>";
print_r($var);
echo "</pre>";
}`
Any more information I can put forth to help solve this mystery, will be gladly provided.
