Add video compatibility with Twitter (uploading videos not downloading)

[jaylay99]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Yes, when I download videos as MP4 and I try to reupload them to Twitter, I get an error. I have to re-encode them using Shutter Encoder

Describe the solution you'd like Create en encoder that is compatible with Twitter

Describe alternatives you've considered Using Shutter Encoder/Handbrake.

Additional context (when uploading to Twitter using videos downloaded with Open Video Downloader)

Please first find out what the desired format is that Twitter upload supports.

there are already some options available to choose different video formats have you tried them all?

Looking at this, could it be caused by a resolution that is higher than 1080p? https://typefully.com/blog/video-formats-twitter

Ty for looking into this, I'm really satisfied with this GUI aside from this one issue. So far I've tried both formats offered by the GUI (MP4/MKV) but Twitter only supports MP4 + 512MB and 60fps (free user) All videos tested matched the requirements. This only seems to happen when strictly when I download YouTube videos and upload them to Twitter. When I download Twitter videos directly then re-upload them to Twitter, it seems to work fine (although I haven't tested it enough).

Tests I've done so far : (tested when uploading in a comment, not as a Tweet post)

• https://www.youtube.com/shorts/ybZmYvaqwEg (YouTube Short video) MP4 1234p30, 1080p30, 854p30 Video + Audio, none of these options work. (all the same error)

• https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4cKdQ0iq7I MP4 1080p60, 720p60, 720p30 Video + Audio : 1080p60, 720p60 gets an error when uploading to Twitter but 720p30 works fine. Using the MP4 1080P60 file and re-encoded with Shutter Encoder works (H.264 MP4, default settings, but I set it up to 43MB so have similar file size)

• I made Pastebins with MPC-BE info on both files. Using this video again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i4cKdQ0iq7I) Open Video Downloader MP4 1080p60 : https://pastebin.com/BJib8FFa (this one failed re-uploading on Twitter) Re-encoded with Shutter Encoder : https://pastebin.com/ppXQeGqm (this one worked fine re-uploading on Twitter) Shutter Encoder settings : https://imgur.com/rYM6KOF

I hope I provided enough details, feel free to let me know if you need more. Thanks!

EDIT : I've tested again with Shutter Encoder but using VP9 compression (default settings + 43MB file), Twitter gets an error when uploading that file. The issue seems to be caused by the compression technique. MPC-BE info : https://pastebin.com/edfgx3Qq

Edit 2 : Using Jdownloader 2 (using AVC compression), I downloaded the same video and I could re-upload it to Twitter with success.

Proposed solution : give us the ability to select AVC compression for videos

I see, thanks for sharing an example URL.

In the UI you can select the video format as well, but it has to be turned on in the settings:

In your case I got an error when I went for one resolution, but I managed to find one that works:

I got it by selecting that resolution:

I also checked for higher resolutions and found this one to be the highest one that worked:
