Upload is stuck

[Icaro1447]

First of all the video is uploaded as a draft, and it get stuck while processing it for some reason. And I think it's because youtube asks me to check the COPPA (if it's made for kids or not). I changed a bit of the default script and also added the option to choose if it's gonna keep it draw or not, but it didn't seem to work. Please tell me if I'm doing something wrong/dumb or if I am dumb by myself. Here is the script:

const { upload } = require('youtube-videos-uploader');

const credentials = { email: '*', pass: '*', recoveryemail: '*' }

const onVideoUploadSuccess = (videoUrl : any) => {
    // ..do something..
}

const video1 = { path: 'C:\\Users\\BlykS\\Desktop\\test\\video.mp4', title: 'video', language: 'english', channelName: 'my secondary channels name', keepDraw: 'false', onSuccess:onVideoUploadSuccess, skipProcessingWait: true, onProgress: (progress : any) => { console.log('progress', progress) } }

upload (credentials, [video1]).then(console.log)

And here is what happens in my terminal:

C:\Users\BlykS\Desktop\test>npx ts-node uploader.ts
progress { progress: 0, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 3, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 7, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 10, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 14, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 17, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 20, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 24, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 27, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 30, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 34, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 37, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 41, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 44, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 47, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 51, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 54, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 57, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 61, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 64, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 71, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 78, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 81, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 84, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 88, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 95, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 100, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 51, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 78, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 87, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 95, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 0, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 1, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 2, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 3, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 4, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 5, stage: 0 }

Yeah, the skipProcessingWait doesn't seem to do anything atm. It waits until the processing is done.

It may be best to set your whole channel for kids or not so it doesn't cause a issue here.

What do you mean by keepDraw?

Ok I'll try that.

I was searching through the issues to fix my problem with youtube always processing the video as draft and I thought readme was outdated but It's not.

Ok after trying that and waiting the process, I got another error:

progress { progress: 100, stage: 2 }
C:\Users\BlykS\node_modules\youtube-videos-uploader\dist\upload.js:5
        function fulfilled(value) { try { step(generator.next(value)); } catch (e) { reject(e); } }
                                                         ^
TypeError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'substring')

    at fulfilled (C:\Users\BlykS\node_modules\youtube-videos-uploader\dist\upload.js:5:58)
    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

But after checking what was causing the problem one more time, I realized that youtube stuck on the upload due to the copyright claim check and idk how to pass this without clicking then Next button myself and posting it.

seems like project is ded

Stop saying BS, last commit on this project is 5 days ago, you know ? If it's not fixed yet, it simply means that no one who cares enough about continuing the upload despite a copyright claim has placed an MR yet to fix it.

You can do it yourself whenever you think there is something on this package that needs change, especially if you're using it. Just like I did for a few features here ;)

On a side note : Why would you need to upload copyrighted videos on Youtube ?

[pierreminiggio]

@Icaro1447 You could update your issue's title to speecify that it's for copyrighted claimed videos.

Well, I discovered that it doesn't matter if the video has copyright or not. The tool simply won't upload anything. It saves everything as draft and I dont know what to do anymore.

This sometimes happens to me, when the videos is left as a draft.

It used to happen eveeytime if I had another video uploading (separately)

But it happens somewhat randomly still.

I don't have any copyright issues with my videos.

Did you make sure to do all the steps described in the readme file ?

Usually when a video is stuck as a draft, it's likely because it's missing a default upload value for a field.

Have tried with another tool using a random video and happened again, and tried on a different channel as well, no idea whats causing it

Ok I rewrote the code but now more simple and it actually worked wtf.

progress { progress: 0, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 3, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 7, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 10, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 14, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 20, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 24, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 30, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 34, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 41, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 44, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 51, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 54, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 57, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 64, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 68, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 74, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 78, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 84, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 88, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 95, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 98, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 100, stage: 0 }
progress { progress: 0, stage: 1 }
progress { progress: 100, stage: 2 }

And the video is also public, finally worked. Therefore I probably forgot to add a default upload value for a field, as said by @pierreminiggio

Feel free to post the MR then so we can all benefit from this :P
