UploadError: Missing end boundary in multipart body.

[scaryguy]

When I use standart upload method just the same as it exists in READ ME, I get this error:

client = YouTubeIt::Client.new(:username=>"USERNAME", :password=>"PASSWORD", :dev_key=>"DEV_KEY")

client.video_upload(File.open("/Users/scaryguy/sts_videos/youtube.mp4"), :title => "dfddftest",:description => "some description fdfdfdfd", :category => "People", :keywords => %w[cool blah test])
UploadError: Missing end boundary in multipart body.

P.S: I had told you, chebyte, that my boss would make a small donation last day. I'm sorry but I can't force my boss to make a donation for something which we can not even use. I couldn't use the gem since I met it.

Sorry you are unable to use this gem. At this point it is probably best you use a different youtube gem @scaryguy. Since I'm unable to reproduce this I'm closing this issue. Please provide a failing test or a patch for us to look at.

Hi @kylejginavan,

I just experience the same error as @scaryguy, same kind of simple test based on the readme file. Here is the code I'm running (I removed user,pass,key, etc) : https://gist.github.com/americos/5709494

Using Ruby: 1.9.3p327

I would really appreciate if you can have a quick look, I don't know what I'm missing or doing wrong.

I also encountered this error. Using: ruby 2.0.0p0 (2013-02-24 revision 39474) [x86_64-linux]

I was attempting to upload a .avi file using the code in the readme.

[facetoe]

Just tried with a .mov file and also got the error. It's strange because last night it worked fine...

[chrosciu]

I investigated the issue. In my opinion problem is in the fact, that Faraday::Excon adapter tries to read body without passing buffer size (probably it assumes that body will be returned as a whole)

# TODO: support streaming requests
def read_body(env)
  env[:body].respond_to?(:read) ? env[:body].read : env[:body]
end

This goes to GreedyChainIO which assumes that default buffer size is 500k

class YouTubeIt::GreedyChainIO < DelegateClass(YouTubeIt::ChainIO)
  BIG_CHUNK = 512 * 1024 # 500 kb

  def read(any_buffer_size = nil)
    __getobj__.read(BIG_CHUNK)
  end

so it does not return more than 500k as a body to faraday (and body is cut in the half).

I made some tests - I tried to upload 600k video file to youtube and got topic error. Then I increased buffer size in GreedyChainIO to 1MB and upload was performed without any problems

However I have no idea how to fix this....

[kylejginavan]

@chrosciu well said and thank you. I will research this a bit more.

[chrosciu]

@kylejginavan: I prepared some fix both for this issue and #159.

https://github.com/neubloc/youtube_it/commit/715a4dcd6dd0c4b99f58116cf00aacf19171cc9c

If you think it is ok, I can prepare pull request

[facetoe]

Thanks @kylejginavan, I'll give it a test right away!

[facetoe]

I just tested the fix @kylejginavan and it worked perfectly!

[chrosciu]

@facetoe : glad to hear it :)

[chebyte]

@chrosciu thanks! I going to put your fix!

[chebyte]

@all today we going to make the new realease with the fix!
