I have found that Flickr does refuse to load some MP4's, MOV's and MPG's with an indication of "Error: 5: Filetype was not recognised" (on https://www.flickr.com/services/api/upload.api.html it states: "The file was not of a recognised image format").
Meanwhile I've successfully uploaded one of such files into flickr.com directly via the Web interface of flickr.com.
I've attached here:
a small 2s video file (attached) which always fails via flickrapi but not via flickr.com direct upload: BadFile.MOV02901.mpg.gz
the debug from my program which includes the debug from flickrapi. Check line 35 onwards: uploadr.log.bad.txt
link to my simplified code uploadr.py. Check line #772 onwards.
I was wondering if there could be something wrong at the lower flickrapi level to justify this or if I am doing something wrong?
I have about 61000 images,
with 159 MP4, of which 18 do not load for this error: about 11%.
with 938 MOV, of which 123 do not load for this error: about 13%
with 98 MPG, of which 98 do not load for this error: about: 100%
Guys, excellent job.
