Trying to add different types of videos and sources to test mediacore out but whenever I add a youtube url it just says it cannot add it.
I assume it wants the link you get from the 'embed' code youtube gives you? I tried both that and the normal url anyway but still just says cannot add it.
it should take normal link from browser just fine, other videos adding works fine for you... like vimeo or upload file ?
uploading standard videos works fine but not links - i am going to start again with the server as think i have issues with PIL or something and as I am only testing it will be just as quick to start from scratch than go through logs etc at the moment
I also can't get YouTube videos to show. Vimeo videos add just fine though. I'm on that new cloud service. Seems like a problem on Youtube's end.
Are you adding youtu.be links? Or are they youtube.com links? We just found out that Google is using a URL shortener for YouTube and in some cases that is leading to broken URL's.
Ah - thanks Jeremy. I was using the youtu.be links, but the 'real' links work in mediacore.
This will be fixed early next week. Thanks Mike!
Pesky YouTube! Anyways the cloud demo is pretty nice otherwise.
Thanks Mike! We've fixed the YouTube issue, and we'll be pushing the update by Tuesday of this coming week so you'll see this fixed shortly.
right on!
This is now fixed.
First off thank you for this excellent video platform, Mediacore it's amazing!
I'm also experiencing a few issues: I can't get Youtube, Blip.tv and Dailymotion videos to show.
Youtube an Blip.tv videos don't show up, Dailymotion videos show the following message: "encoding in progress..."
Vimeo videos are OK.
Are you adding Youtube.com or Youtu.be videos? Blip.tv just changed their API so it won't work until we can get a patch out. Daily motion should definitely work though, can you share a URL with us?
Hi Jeremy,
I added the videos from Youtube.com
Here's a youtube example: http://streaming.mediacore.tv/media/vietnam-laos-border-crossing-luang-prabang
Video link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_Lj8FOJzT8
And Dailymotion: http://streaming.mediacore.tv/media/visit-hong-kong-ferry-ride-in-china
Video link: http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xgecq8_visit-hong-kong-ferry-ride-in-china_travel
I posted these videos using Opera browser and Mac OS X Snow Leopard, I don't know if it has nothing to do with this issue or not.
Waiting to add my own domain on the cloud
Thanks!
Hey GoogleBot,
Thanks for reporting this issue, we've tested it and we can reproduce the problem. We'll have a look into this ASAP. Thanks for letting us know.
Cheers,
Jeremy
Hi GoogleBot,
The YouTube video doesn't add because of an oddity with the YouTube API. I've got a patch, it'll be pushed later this week. Oddly enough this video can now be embedded, but there are others that suffer the same problem.
The DailyMotion video can't be added because the uploader has disabled embedding. I'm just working on adding a helpful error message when this happens.
Thanks for the feedback!
Hi Nathan,
I am sorry. I didn't notice that the uploader disabled embedding.
MediaCore works like a charm, I am very impressed with the platform.
Thank you Nathan and Jeremy!
P.S: Let you know that YouTube videos are working again
Hi Nathan,
So far, Mediacore is pretty clean, simple and smart. Awesome project. I love it! But I have a lil prob.
I know Jeremy said above that this is fixed, but I still can't add a Youtube, Vimeo video links. Each time I try it gives me this error message "Failed to add this file. Please try again."
I downloaded the 0.9 to test it on a local server. So, I don't know if it has anything to do with that, but the bliptv links works and uploads just fine. Please help me with this. If you have make any changes to mediacore/lib/storage/youtube.py to correct this, please let me know. Could you email me the corrections or let me know how to fix this.
Thanks guys for such a wonderful project.

@ujonah: I guess we need a bit more info here:
- Did you installed the current git version of MediaCore?
- Which YouTube URL did you try?
Hi Felix,
I actually installed the current git version of MediaCore but still having the same problem. I tried adding http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4HFWwKreOmQ and http://youtu.be/4HFWwKreOmQ and they both gave me this error message "Failed to add this file. Please try again." Like I said earlier only the BlipTv works right now. Do you know how I could fix this or could you give me the right link to the current git to make sure I'm not missing something? I downloaded the master from here https://github.com/mediacore/mediacore . So, let me know when to do to fix this. Oh, and I'm running Ubuntu 11.04 Thanks a lot.
I think I finally got it figured out I watch this video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZFBFnQqbk94&feature=related and followed his instructions here https://docs.google.com/document/pub?id=1DAikm-mCYiNFddClW21S0G-EwzINIC_gUl7pn2jq2zA&pli=1
So, maybe Ubuntu 11.04 needed more configuration then specified in the MediaCore installation doc to work fine with MediaCore. Maybe you guys can update those instructions using they two links above. Again, thanks for helping. And thanks for making a such a wonderful and power program.
