Uploading video chunked error on FINALIZE command

digital_human · 2016-05-17T11:30:44.147Z

well at least it uploads the file. I receive a media Id as you can see and i can request its status. Without the media_category it doesn’t give me a media ID. So i assume that part is correct.

I think we all can agree on the fact that the error messages from the API is far from usefull. I hope the media team can contact me and help me out with this part. Then i am close to finishing up this part of the project and i can move on to the next social platform to battle with.

Cheers!

@hector_borras yes - however you are working with the Ads API where amplify_video is a different option. I’ll double-check on that, as it doesn’t make sense to have two sets of valid values.

digital_human · 2016-05-17T11:33:26.068Z

@hector_borras where did you get the ‘amplified_video’ category from? From Twitter?

hector_borras · 2016-05-17T11:54:10.828Z

I’ve tried with tweet_video and Twitter api told me that I should use amplify_video and I did it and it worked!!

digital_human · 2016-05-17T12:00:57.204Z

hector_borras:

amplify_video

Hahahaha yes it works! #solution. Thanks @hector_borras!

It does upload my MP4:

Array
(
    [media_id] => 732540885078925312
    [media_id_string] => 732540885078925312
    [size] => 11439622
    [expires_after_secs] => 15552000

        (
            [state] => pending
            [check_after_secs] => 5
        )

)

And status request shows:

    [media_id_string] => 732540885078925312

        )

)

Ok, now im getting this error when trying to tweet this video:

        )

Looks like this: Media id not found while posting tweet with media

@andypiper or @tushargj any idea?

hector_borras · 2016-05-17T12:32:59.031Z

Are you using the video_id or the media_id parameter? You should use video_id

hector_borras · 2016-05-17T13:02:15.795Z

Oh! I didn’t know that! Anyway thanks @andypiper!

digital_human · 2016-05-17T16:15:22.412Z

Damn really? #omg Thanks!

@andypiper
Also, why is the documentation talking about ‘media_ids’ parameter and not mentioning ‘video_id’ parameter anywhere?

digital_human · 2016-05-17T16:20:53.573Z

hi @anypiper,

Video ID parameter is not working. As the documentation says: https://dev.twitter.com/rest/reference/post/statuses/update the parameter media_ids should be used for videos as well. Any idea?

hector_borras · 2016-05-17T16:38:01.710Z

Ops, maybe this is my fault. You’re right. It parameter doesn’t exist for the rest API. I’m using the ads API, so maybe that’s the difference. Sorry for the confusion.

digital_human · 2016-05-17T16:40:01.512Z

no problem. Still trying to figure out how to post my video in a status update. It just doesn’t work if you follow the documentation.

Hi @andypiper, can you please help out with this final step? Why does it not accept my media_ids?

Als @tushargj, can you please look into this? Thanks!

andypiper · 2016-05-18T17:16:45.627Z

I checked in with the team and to clarify, you should definitely not use a media_category of amplify_video unless you are on the Ads platform. Additionally, the media kind is apparently “mpeg4 (Advanced Simple Profile)” which we don’t support at the moment.

I apologise for these gaps in the documentation and I’m working with the team to clarify these things right now, but we are in the process of some other backend changes to the doc system so this may take a while to ripple through.

digital_human · 2016-05-19T06:28:17.536Z

Ok, what types of video do you support then @andypiper? My customer is waiting for this code so I hope you can answer me today.

digital_human · 2016-05-19T06:45:13.217Z

But why is this #twurl working with MP4, and normal upload doesn’t support MP4? I’m kinda lost now. Or is it the Advanced Simple Profile that is messing stuff up?

digital_human · 2016-05-19T06:48:39.669Z

Never mind. That is the issue.

MP4 is supported but only some profiles. If you get the message ‘325 A media id was not found.’ it could be your MP4 video is not supported. Video category that I use is ‘tweet_video’ like the documentation says.

Fixed, ready to close

barndawgie · 2016-05-19T07:55:45.956Z

For the record, I think the confusion here was that “MP4” is being used for a couple of different things. MPEG-4 Part 14 (aka MP4) is a container format. MPEG-4 Part 2 (aka MPEG-4 Visual) is a video codec with a number of profiles including Advanced Simple Profile (pretty stupid name for a profile, BTW ). MPEG-4 Part 10 (aka h.264, AVC) is a different video codec.

For Twitter video uploads, we expect an MP4 container with h.264 video and AAC audio. We do not currently support the MPEG-4 Visual codec for tweet_video uploads.

Thanks!
Josh

digital_human · 2016-05-19T09:50:07.624Z

Thanks for the clarification on this part.
