Known bugs and common errors

1. Subtitles are not imported https://github.com/toolforge/video2commons/issues/148

   Since circa 2020, subtitles have not been automatically imported even if the option is selected. Unknown cause, possibly bug in codes.

MaybeEncodingError: PicklingError

Bug report: https://github.com/toolforge/video2commons/issues/184

Hi, Another error now :((( while trying to upload [1]. Yann (talk) 07:57, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

An exception occurred: MaybeEncodingError: b'(\'\\\'PicklingError("Can\\\\\\\'t pickle <class \\\\\\\'video2commons.exceptions.TaskError\\\\\\\'>: import of module \\\\\\\'video2commons.exceptions\\\\\\\' failed")\\\'\', \'\\\'(1, <ExceptionInfo: TaskError(b"pywikibot.Error: UploadError: exists-normalized: File exists with different extension as \\\\\\\'Z\\\\\\\\xc3\\\\\\\\xa9ro_de_conduite_(1933)_par_Jean_Vigo.jpg\\\\\\\'.")>, None)\\\'\')'

@Yann: this is coming from mediawiki itself pywikibot.Error: UploadError: exists-normalized . Changing the title so it doesn't match the image should let the upload through. ps: I wish these mediawiki errors were properly documented somewhere. Chico Venancio (talk) 13:18, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

The main problem is that comes after 8 hours running... :((( I renamed the file, it is much easier than starting the video process allover. Yann (talk) 16:12, 11 January 2024 (UTC)

@Yann: I was able to upload File:Zero De Conduite AKA Zero for Conduct (1933) (1080p) Jean Vigo.webm for you, please attend to the licensing.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 11:26, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Never mind, we already have File:Zéro de conduite (1933) par Jean Vigo.webm, which is of higher resolution. Tagged for G7.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ _{please ping or talk to me}🇺🇦 12:43, 13 February 2024 (UTC)

Large uploads smoother

https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358308

thanks to User:CGoubert-WMF, User:HNowlan (WMF) and User:Bawolff, large uploads are now probably smoother. maybe v2c also benefits from this? how's your experience recently? RZuo (talk) 21:13, 27 April 2024 (UTC)

I should mention that I'm still aware of at least two issues that might affect big uploads (interuption during deployments, and false positives when scanning for bad files) however both should happen a lot less then the previous issue that was recently fixed, so hopefully things are working smoother now even if not perfect.

Its hard to know without looking at the file (and possibly knowing more about mp4 internals then i do), but for some files there can be transcoding options that well normally work well might work terribly for some specific file. As an aside as far as 4gb limit goes on video2commons, i submitted [2] but its waiting on one of the video2commons maintainers to review it (i think that is @Zhuyifei1999 ) Bawolff (talk) 20:43, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

@Bawolff: Thanks for your answer. It is not the only problem. See the screenshot I posted below. Yann (talk) 22:10, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

The problems below all sound like variations on out-of-memory errors (the cannot allocate memory error very obviously looks like OOM, but the errors related about processes being killed sound like they could also be OOM related errors). I don't know enough how video2commons works to say more than that. Perhaps the tool in question needs to be modified to do less things in parallel. Bawolff (talk) 00:19, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

It does not import subtitles!

Example that has subtitles at source and when downloaded

When having subtitles checked it usually does not import subtitles, or at least often.

For example, try turning on subtitles for the video on the right which has subtitles at the source. Here is another example since I think the uploader had import subtitles checked (note that in this case the subtitles are set on a wrong language at the source which is rare). Could this please be fixed as soon as possible so people don't need to upload many videos again to have the subtitles working? It would be best if one could easily add subtitles to the video file itself so that they are embedded in the video but for now this is only about the subtitles existing at the source.

There also is an issue that subtitles are not shown for videos where the subtitle was successfully imported using the tool (you can download the video and watch the video with subtitles); create an issue about that here: phab:T368298. Prototyperspective (talk) 17:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

#top "Before you file a report, please check whether the following list already includes the problem you have." RZuo (talk) 19:40, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Ups, missed that part. Was about to delete this section but seeing how this is still an issue after ca 4 years, the issue has been created over 2 years ago, and there not being much details in the github issue maybe it should stay. Getting the subtitle downloaded is just making sure the right yt-dlp command is used so if that is the problem it should be quick and simple to fix. Also maybe it has to do with the phab issue about VTT subtitles, should there also be a phabricator issue about it? From the code issue it seems like it could have to do with language codes, could somebody take a look at it? Prototyperspective (talk) 21:17, 24 June 2024 (UTC)

Cannot upload age-restricted videos

I get the following error when I try to upload videos that are age-restricted:

An exception occurred: DownloadError: b'ERROR: unable to download video data: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden'

Is there a work-around? FunnyMath (talk) 17:58, 11 July 2024 (UTC)

@FunnyMath: I don't suppose we could wait til the bot is 18.   — 🇺🇦Jeff G. ツ please ping or talk to me🇺🇦 08:00, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

@Jeff G.: Maybe the bot can be accompanied by another bot that is 18 or older ;)

Anyways, it's not an urgent issue. I'm using yt-dlp to bypass the age-restriction. I'm uploading some public domain Korean War videos that are not child-friendly, so that's why. My issue might be too niche to merit a fix; I would guess not too many public domain or CC-BY videos are age-restricted. FunnyMath (talk) 09:11, 13 July 2024 (UTC)

I've got the same problem too. – Illegitimate Barrister (talk • contribs), 17:41, 17 July 2024 (UTC)

AV1 encoding feature request

I think that video2commons should keep up with the times and have the option to convert videos to the AV1 format. Also, v2c should have the option to transcode only a specified section of a source video if, for example, the video contains something copyrightable like an intro animation. prospectprospekt (talk) 04:02, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
