Video media type not working

[Özcan Oğuz]

Hello everyone,

I have initialized a new instance on ​https://medya.oyd.org.tr and want to serve our conference's ([ozgurkon.org]) videos and slides from it; but when I tried to upload videos, it's not working.

First of all, I just added video media type and uploaded a demo video, but it stuck on "Processing" step. Then, I changed my mediagoblin.ini like this:

[[mediagoblin.media_types.video]]
available_resolutions = 144p,240p,360p,480p,720p,1080p
default_resolution = 1080p
[[[skip_transcode]]]
mime_types = video/webm, video/ogg, video/mp4, audio/ogg, application/ogg, application/x-annodex
container_formats = Matroska, Ogg, ISO MP4/M4A 
video_codecs = VP8 video, VP9 video, Theora, H.264, H.264 / AVC, MPEG-4 video
audio_codecs = Vorbis, MPEG-4 AAC audio
dimensions_match = false

But nothing changed. But I wanted to add media via {{{bin/gmg addmedia}} because I want to add ~20 GB of video. If I use this tool, video will appear on the site, but Video.js is not working and <source> tag is not exist on <video> block.

If I tried to reprocess a video that I uploaded via web with {{{bin/gmg reprocess}} I got this error:

WARNING:mediagoblin.processing:No idea what happened here, but it failed: TypeError("main_task() got multiple values for argument 'medium_size'",)

    R = retval = fun(*args, **kwargs)
TypeError: main_task() got multiple values for argument 'medium_size'

I need to serve this videos, what should I do?

I fixed it temporarily by changing {{{mediagoblin/templates/mediagoblin/media_displays/video.html}} file as :

    {# for each_media_path in all_media_path #}
    <source src="{{ request.app.public_store.file_url(media.media_files.original) }}"
            {% if media.media_data %}
              type="{{ media.media_data.source_type() }}"
            {% else %}
              type="{{ media.media_manager['default_webm_type'] }}"
            {% endif %}
            label="{{ all_media_path }}" res="{{ all_media_path }}" />
    {# endfor #}

Hi Özcan, sorry for the slow response. If this issue is still relevant, can you tell us what operating system you're running on? More recently I've added some Docker-based testing of the installation process on common platforms to avoid issues like you're seeing. Was the system deployed based on our ​https://mediagoblin.readthedocs.io/en/master/siteadmin/deploying.html guide, or some other approach?

Regards,
Ben

We haven't heard back from Özcan, so closing this ticket.
