3 times I have uploaded public videos -- all from the same photo-session.
3 times I have different results.
These are all MJPEG, worked just fine on YouTube, and were uploaded with the Flickr::Upload perl module. As an update, I've found that the problem did not manifest during manual uploads, just when using the perl module. At least, until 5/17/2008, when even manual uploads failed!
Day 1: It works! wow! yay!
www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/2399165023/
Day 2: I try the exact same video as day 1. FAIL.
www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/2439274099/
Day 2: I try another video from the same session. DIFFERENT FAIL. (stuck in processing)
www.flickr.com/photos/clintjcl/2439236335/
All of this worked with YouTube, so I'm sticking with YouTube. I'm certainly not going to re-encode my videos for flickr. Not only is that a decrease in quality, but the burden to make it work should be on Flickr and not the users -- If YouTube supports it, you should usupport it too.
and certainly, if it worked on day 1, it should work on dy 2.
Flickr broke something since release!

I would expect a site that's had functional video upload for several years, might have a few less bugs than a site that just launched it.
youtube supports lots of things that Flickr does not (90 second time limits, available to pro users only, no porn, no commercial works, etc). Since Flickr isn't trying to compete with youtube, it doesn't seem so necessary to do what they do.
Hopefully the bugs you're seeing will get worked out eventually.

I would expect a site that's had functional video upload for 1 day to have it the next day, but alas, the same video that worked on day#1 wouldn't work on day#2.

In case you don't already know, I recently discovered www.ipernity.com
They provide
- replace function,
- video rotation,
- and NO 90 seconds limitation...
I hope Flickr will soon provide the same.

As many of you know, PicLens is a wonderful tool for viewing images on flickr. However, the PicLens "play button" now sits right on top of the new flickr video "play button." I've informed the PicLens team but also wanted to mention it here. Thanks.

I'm not sure if this is a "bug" but...
Once a video is uploaded, but is still processing, I can't do anything but delete it- none of the other functions are available. I'd like to be able to add it to a set at that time. Why should I have to wait for it to finish processing just to add to a set?
also: I'm not sure if this is temporary (Flickr is running quite slow for me today) but my latest video seemed to upload just fine and it shows a thumbnail. but when I go to the video's page it just sits there saying "loading..." but it never finishes. one time it seemed to finish, but the screen was black and although the timeline at the bottom showed the correct duration nothing would play.
okay, now it shows the video, but it won't play at speed, perhaps due to whatever slowness I'm experiencing.

Simple question. when I try to watch a video all I get is a black box but it shows in the lower left corner of the firefox browser that data is being downloaded from flickr. However the video never appears. I have deleted and reloaded flashwave a bunch of times. I've asked this question before and received no answer other than to download the latest flashwave. Also sent a question to the flickr folks over 2 weeks ago but silence. I assume they want more technical questions so they can give groovy techie answers. I can watch stuff on youtube ok.
I realize I am probably doing something stupidly wrong but I can't figure it out!

I understand that this is also the thread for bring up problems with photos as well as videos as all the new ones started get closed and referred here. I've had a quick look through this thread and can't see anyone with similar problems - I've not been able to upload photos via the Uploadr for a couple of days. I'm using the Mac version and started off with v2.3, I was able to upload one batch, but the next day it stopped working. The error I was getting was that there was a network problem and I wasn't connected to the internet (which clearly is not correct, as here I am!). I thought upgrading to the latest version would help, but I'm still getting the same problem.
I can upload via the web interface - but I've got hundreds to upload and don't really want to have to use that.
Is my issue linked to the problems people are having with video, or a separate problem altogether?
Cheers

sabamiso Flickrriver is a 3rd party site using the API. If a member has chosen to opt out of the API or an API application (or is hiding their profile from searches), their images won't be found via an API search. Flickr does not support Flickrriver, either.

Not sure if this has been posted yet - if you have trouble uploading Quicktime that's been rotated 90deg switch the setting in the uploader to just video. If you have the uploader set to photos and video the videos aren't rotated. If you upload the videos separately with uploader set to video only they are OK. Hope this helps (I've just spent an evening trying to work out why some of my vid's uploaded OK and some didn't! : )
Later: sorry, I was a bit tired and it turns out the AVI file worked but not the rotated quicktime which is weird. Now I need to see which versions I uploaded before... I'm sure some have worked and some not. Most Mysterious!

The caching is awefull.
The video loads, plays a bit, then loads again. Plain awefull.
And no, it's not my connection. YouTube, Vimeo and other work just fine.
Guess Flickr needs to tune a lot before this turns out to be an innovating thing on Flickr.
Pretty disappointed about it.

Okay... maybe flickr can help, because Adobe can't or won't, and this is affecting a lot of people, it seems:
I get no sound in flickr video clips.
But I have to be honest: it's not flickr's fault. It started out of the blue (as far as I can tell - obviously if I knew the reason I'd have fixed it!) a few days ago. All embedded flash video is affected, such as YouTube and the BBC.
Both major browsers, and desktop flv players are also affected. But Media Player Classic and VLC can play sound in flv files, using ffdshow, no problem.
All my other sounds are fine.
I've found about ten different fixes on the net, including replacing missing registry entries, updating all drivers, and uninstalling and reinstalling Flash - but none of them work for me.
Does anybody know if there's something Adobe aren't telling us about Flash video having a bug?

i have no idea why you guys are having those other bugs. Never been an issue with me (winXP, IE7, firefox, Adobe Flash). All the videos ive looked at play great, given their limited bitrate (another forum). As for THIS THREAD, just chiming in on a BUG that I have run into.
I'm in a hotel. (yeah i know - lots o' variables)
Web-Based-Upload:
146MB video, AVI container with MJPEG, under 90 seconds
File gets stuck at 100% for over 20 minutes (still stuck).
MJPEG has worked great before.
OS: Vista Business
IE7
Adobe Flash installed

Still having intermittent troubles uploading .3g2 videos from my cellphone. They are small (less than 1MB). Most of the time they seem to work OK, but sometimes they fail to process, and sometimes (more frequently) they have no sound. The same files seem to work fine on other sites.

Even though I was able to download and play videos from different members who have videos (including the members of the staff like Heather and George) when video first came out, I now cannot even get videos to come up, and yes, before I could get them even on a dial-up connection that is slower than broadband that most people have, so I am wondering if I should do a Google search to see if there have been updates for the Adobe Flash player and if there is, download and install.
EDIT - Earlier in May 2008, I upgraded to Version 9,0,124,0, but I still cannot view videos anymore, and no, I am not blocking anything and don't use proxy servers. And I prefer not to disable the firewall because it protects my Internet connection, and I prefer to keep Norton Auto Protection enabled due to one time ending up with the Vundo.DLL trojan that I was able to delete with a trojan removing tool.

Maybe I need some coffee but when I try to upload a video it tells me the only file types available to upload are:
Photos and Videos .jpg. .bmp
I don't have any .jpg videos and I doubt if anyone else does, either. How can I upload a WMV if the file type isn't even an option on the online Flickr uploader? I tried to desktop uploader, too, and that does the same thing.
I've been able to upload videos before. Am I just being stupid or is there a bug?

Hmm, I was just able to select an .mov file using the web uploader. You might try clearing your cache and trying again:

That's all I see as far as options in the drop down. I just went back and tried it again and it's the same way. I just downloaded the uploader (never thought I'd say that) this morning so it's the latest and freshest version as far as I can tell.

hzchewtoy Make sure that they are WMV files. In your screenshots, you have extensions disabled. ASF is part of the Windows Media framework, but not supported by Flickr.
If you have windows movie maker (it should be with your system, or it's a free download from Microsoft), then open one of these files and convert it to a WMV file, then see if you can upload it.

Success! The desktop uploader still doesn't work very well for me (I don't have a big upload button as the FAQ describes), but I was able to upload directly online, so who cares.

Organizr Video Bug
Organizr does not auto sort videos by date taken in a photoset. Appears to use date uploaded.
All the videos in this set were sorted to last. The metadata does place the time of some of the videos before some of the photos.

@Metahari- right now we record the date of the file as it's uploaded to Flickr as the file creation date, similar to a photo without any EXIF so I think that's why the files are being placed there. I don't know if we plan on using the date of the file (as you've created it).
@ClintCL- re: your post on the 1 success, 2 failures to the dev team. It's one of several in queue to be investigated. (We had no trouble reprocessing the same one multiple times though.) Have you tried any other errors since then?
re: 3g2 files- we know there are some issues processing some of them, some end up with no sound, etc. We are investigating problems with encoding those.

@Kevin,
I just did some more testing and realized something ....
My problem is not codec related in the slightest. If I manually upload, they work fine.
But I upload with a script I wrote -- a good 4000+ lines of code that mostly deals with importing tags and captions from my own format (I was tagging photos back in 2000)
It uses the Perl flickr API -- Flickr::Upload
It may actually be that the flickr API needs to be updated to, for lack of understanding on my part, "accept AVI/video files that come down the same API path that JPG files used to be".
I'm locked in to uploading this way... but shouldn't an old API with a new filename still work?
Maybe it is as simple as a jumbled mime type?
Posted 2 months ago.
( permalink

|

: Video uploads work exactly the same than photo uploads. You should not have any problem ... unless, as you say, you're not using the correct MIME types, which should be no problem at all major OS have a standard place from or function with which get it.
If you keep having problems with your script you might better want to ask in the API group.

I too have recieved an "Unable to Process Video" message.
Oddly enough, this message only occurs when I recompress my videos using Intel Video 5.
Flickr can process the the original JPEG AVI from my Canon Camera. Maybe I'll try to convert the video to a WMV or MPEG 1 to reduce the file size. The JPG codec doesn't use delta frames.
Bye
Edit: I forgot to mention that I am using the web based uploader to upload my test videos.

Werefwolf pup, thank you for the feedback on that your workflow there and what was not working with your conversion.

I've just uploaded my third video ... it plays 1:30 of the 1:38 video - only 4.7 megs...
I deleted two other larger files thinking they were corrupted during upload...
What gives?
The first two were .avi files that loaded fine... they just wouldn't play to the end. It appears this .wmv file is behaving the same way.
(popping.wmv)
Not a very promising start for me here. . .

The little video arrow icon is showing up half hanging off the left side of the thumbnail when a video pops up in Explore, with the side of the arrow even with the border of the thumbnail, which makes it a bit harder to realize it is a video from the thumbnail.
(Actually, in looking at a few, it looks like the thumbnails for video for Explore just chop off a sliver on the left side for some reason - so maybe the problem isn't the arrow but the resizing for Explore. But in any event, it's a little frustrating for those of us who are trying to just bypass video all together for whatever reason.)

@thebadpete : That M size image is now fixed! Try again!
@bwilliamsdc: That day we had problems which affected many uploads. Videos that show processing for that length of time had failed.

+1 on the "date taken" timestamp not being set. My Canon PowerShot SD700 IS sets the timestamp for the video. iPhoto can detect it, among other apps, but uploadr loses this info and I have to set the dates by hand.
I'm uploading the raw video from the camera, so I'm not losing the timestamp due to editing.

I get bonked every time I try to upload a video. All my videos have been taken with a Canon PowerShot SD870 IS, are smaller than 150MB and less than 90 seconds in length.
I do not want to have to compress videos (using iMovie HD) to be able to download them. The FAQ says Flickr is okay with avi but no matter which Uploadr I use it gives me the bonk message.
Anyone? ;)

While in a group- www.flickr.com/groups/face-off/, as I navigate around the board I become signed out, when I click on sign in - most of the time I am automatically signed in other times it removes me from that group and sends me back to my home page. Sometimes it is funny because I have tried to get to discussions by clicking, read all discussions link, discussions from the top of page and the one that says browse all topics, it seems to not matter. I seem to get signed out -no matter which link I use. Any idea why? I only have this problem in this group- no others.

@jakerome: "Any updates on the 3g2 issues?"
Sorry- not yet.
@Viv- are you still having problems with the files? Are you getting a placeholder page leftover? (I've tried doing several fairly large AVIs from a very similar Canon, those went up to my account with no processing.)
@Through Joanne's eye, this is a topic for Video bugs, not really a good place to post this. You might want to post in a general Forum post with that one.
@H. Daddy re: Time stamps.
There won't be for awhile. We are investigating ways we might be able to do this in the future, but there aren't many options with a lack of video metadata standards (when compared with EXIF).

I tried several videos and only one has successfully loaded. the others all was 'we cannot process this video' although they are very short (i.e. less than 30 seconds) and mpeg format. I read all the faq, nothing helps. I have tried from both the flickr site and via the downloaded flickr uploader 3.1, same result.

I imported my video into iMovie. I have tried uploading the .MOV files but that failed to upload. I used VisualHub to convert the .MOV file to MPEG2 (.mpg) files but that failed to upload. I have tried using the official unloader but .. that failed as well. What next?
I'm on a MacBook running OS X 10.5.2

Site's slow today. Is it because of all the "videos" being loaded?

Try clearing your cache or posting to a thread relevant to your problem.

I am STILL mystified at how I can upload a set of 4 videos, and have only 1 out of 4 able to process.
All videos were taken with the same camera, same day, same codec, same file format, same everything.
It's like flickr rolls the die, and if you get a 6, you get your video processed, otherwise: Not.
Very inconsistent. There's no reason for it to behave like that.

I've noticed that some MOV files exported from QuickTime do *not* work — it results in an "unable to process" error. However, renaming the suffixes from ".mov" to ".mp4" DOES work. Nothing else needs to be changed. I've reproduced this in the following way:
- Open a movie in QuickTime Player (Pro).
- Go to File menu > Export.
- Next to "Export", select "Movie to QuickTime Movie" and select "Options".
- Choose Compression = H.264 and set other stuff to taste.
- Let movie export and try uploading to Flickr.
* Observe: Yellow-backgrounded error message.
= Expected: Movie should process correctly.
Alternatively, "Movie to MPEG-4" via QuickTime does work. But just a heads-up for anyone else who's had similar problems.

@ClintJCL: I've experienced those problems too, sort of related to what I mentioned above. It's frustrating.

My first video blog worked fine, but it was smaller than I wanted. So I went into my blog set-up and changed the size of the video. Now when I try and blog a video, it only puts up a still with a link back to Flickr. It doesn't blog the actual video. Help!

Is the H.264 codec supported?
I've just uploaded my first video, a 7.1 MB animation in Quicktime (filetype is .mov) using the H.264 codec. I used the web uploader.
I get the message:
For some reason we were unable to process this video.
There may have been a temporary problem with our servers, or we may not be able to work with this video file.
(See a list of file formats we accept.)
You could try uploading the video again, later on.
Is there a list of supported codecs somewhere?

Just noticed Torley's post above. Renaming the file from .mov to .mp4 works. No idea why. Is this |
