Processing abandoned The video could not be processed

Question

I followed this link with the second answer (two steps) to implement the video upload to Youtube: Upload video on Youtube using curl and api v3

The code works fine, but when I executed, I got response saying: status: embeddable: true license: "youtube" privacyStatus: "unlisted" publicStatsViewable: true uploadStatus: "uploaded"

That means it is working, but when I went to my youtube account to check the video on videos list, it said: Processing abandoned The video could not be processed

The video is not playable with a red triangle, so are there any more info about why? and how to fix it? the video is about 30 seconds long, and when I manually upload from my youtube account UI, it works. also my scope is configured with: scopes: ['https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtubepartner-channel-audit', 'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload']

Answer 2

I had the same problem with Electron. Solved by moving the API call from rendering process to main process. Apparently the video didn't upload at all using the node.js API in browser context.

Answer 3

Export your video again and save it in a different format supported by Youtube. at first, youtube kept abandoning the processing of my mp4 video but when I saved it as MOV, I was able to upload it with ease. Hope it helps because uploading with video classic didn't fix my issue.
