Now i try to get it working. I think iam close, but iam not sure of what to do now? Can someone help me a little bit with this? I hope so.

This is the code i have got:

$response = $botr_api->call("/videos/list",array());

# Get the details for this specific video.

$result = $botr_api->call("/videos/show",array('video_key'=>$_GET['key']));
if ($result['status'] == "error") 
        {$result = $botr_api->call("/videos/show",array('video_key'=>$response['videos'][0]['key']));
        }

The error 2038 is a real issue from time to time indeed. We will soon move to another way of uploading which fixes this error. For now, there are two workarounds:

  • You could disable javascript or plugins in your browser. That way you'll get a plain HTMl upload that will work.
  • You could use FTP to upload your video. FTP is a great way to also upload big files or multiple files at once.

This should be fine, given that more concurrent uploads will not speed up the process.

Is there something on your side you can do to streamline the process? For example queuing up uploads in times when there's a lot of them. I think the bottleneck is the pipe from your server/computer to our network.

I believe the blocking occured because the 350 videos got you run out of content pretty fast. The number of videos by itself is no problem; we have seen instances of users uploading >1000 videos in a day.

We'll also start sending fewer messages for upcoming blockings / deletions (we now do this 15 / 5 / 1 day in advance)

You probably received the latest message (your account is deleted) today, so in terms of emails from us you should be OK.

I put together a very simplified page that shows the error: http://cgism.com/bor/hs.html

You will notice only in IE does it have this problem.
