Processing abandoned The video could not be processed
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
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.
