[20:19:04] Failed to upload D:\src\python-reddit-youtube-bot\videos\16ycbve_Who_abandoned_their_core_audience_and_paid_the_pri\final.mp4
[20:19:04]
    A video failed to upload

Screenshot of where it got to when it failed :

Code I used to upload :

from tiktok_uploader.upload import upload_video, upload_videos
from tiktok_uploader.auth import AuthBackend

auth = AuthBackend(cookies='cookies.txt')

# single video
upload_video('D:\\src\\python-reddit-youtube-bot\\videos\\16ycbve_Who_abandoned_their_core_audience_and_paid_the_pri\\final.mp4', 
            description='', 
            cookies='cookies.txt')

[gabrielmayers]

Same problem here, any updates? @wkaisertexas

[Dr1mS]

Got the same error but at this step :

I resolve it by comment these line and adding a simple time.sleep(5) :

ofc i hope it's a temp solution

[wkaisertexas]

When designing the library, I have tried to avoid explicit waits was people with different internet connection speeds can experience vastly different times required to upload videos.

[mjacr]

To avoid using this sleepers you can setup a proxy and check if the requests still alive, that way you will know exactly when it finishes.
