Can't upload video with type .mkv

[hoangdangduy]

With file extension .mp4 upload don't have error but .mkv it's opposite. When I debug I still see token exist in UploadMediaItemResponse but when run through BatchCreateMediaItemsResponse.getNewMediaItemResultsList() it return code of status is 3 with message: "NOT_IMAGE: There was an error while trying to create this media item."

Did I do something wrong or code don't support that file ?

Is the file a valid video file? It looks like the API was not able to verify the file. Are you able to upload the file via the Google Photos website or a mobile app?

What is the exact codec, dimensions, bit rate, etc. of the file? On Linux, you can use the tool mediainfo to get a list of details about the file.

That video is a valid video. I try upload direct from website google photo and application About Backup and Sync was downloaded (https://www.google.com/drive/download/backup-and-sync/) together return success result, but with api return fail.

File test I uploaded to google drive. Please download and try it. https://drive.google.com/open?id=13NrGvHS1Bq54aRdhq4Ng7ufIKu5lrItt

Hope you soon reply. Thanks!!

@hoangdangduy Can you share the snippet of code where you are making the call? Are you setting the filename as well? (That's always recommended when uploading video or image files.)

@jfschmakeit I still use code in your repository sample code.
