<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2008 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2008 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

<hr />
<div>This page covers some common scenarios you may face when using the software. If you have stumbled across an error and need help, then refer to our [[YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy Troubleshooting Guide]] instead.<br />
<br />
== Adding multiple Channels for the same YouTube Account ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': My account has multiple channels associated with it. How can I manage videos for multiple channels?<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': Very easy! When adding a new channel into the software, simply give the channel a unique name and add the channel into the software. When the web browser windows opened to verify the YouTube account, select the channel you want to assign. Repeat this step for the other channels you wish to add, give each one a unique name within the software.<br />
<br />
== How can I just upload videos without the database? ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': I want to add videos into the software and upload. I do not wish to manage my videos at a later date.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': In Admin > General, there is an option to Content Manage Videos. When you uncheck this option, the entire Video Database video management features of the software is ignored. Every video added into the software will be uploaded to the YouTube account only. It's very useful for users to wish to just upload many videos on a one-time basis.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is the CSV format for importing videos? ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': I wish to import my videos into this software from another application. What is the correct CSV format my data should be in?<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': The CSV format is as follows: '''Channel Name, Video Title, Video Description, Video Tags (Comma Separated), YouTubeCategoryID, Video Privacy (Public|Unlisted|Private), Video YouTubeID, Video Filename (Full file path), Publish Date'''. A good way to take a closer took at the formatting is to add a few videos into the software and add them to the upload queue. The videos will now be in the database and you can use the Export to CSV feature to carefully analyze the data format.</div>Adminhttps://ginkosolutions.com/wiki/index.php?title=YouTube_Bulk_Uploader_for_the_Lazy_Troubleshooting_Guide&diff=67YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy Troubleshooting Guide2021-02-07T03:44:23Z<p>Admin: /* Adding YouTube Channels */</p>

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services in order to use this software:<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: checkip.dyndns.org<br />
<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Upload Service Temporarily Unavailable<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This can occur when a very large video is uploaded. Ensure your video meets YouTube's length and size parameters. If it does, and the error persists, then remove the video from the upload queue completely, re-add the video and re-upload. This can happen if the video failed previously due to connection issues and the inbuilt-auto resume cannot resume the video. This is a known YouTube API issue, but it happens rarely.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).<br />
<br />

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2008 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2008 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [https://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [https://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet.

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services in order to use this software:<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: checkip.dyndns.org<br />
<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up and displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Upload Service Temporarily Unavailable<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This can occur when a very large video is uploaded. Ensure your video meets YouTube's length and size parameters. If it does, and the error persists, then remove the video from the upload queue completely, re-add the video and re-upload. This can happen if the video failed previously due to connection issues and the inbuilt-auto resume cannot resume the video. This is a known YouTube API issue, but it happens rarely.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services in order to use this software:<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up and displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Upload Service Temporarily Unavailable<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This can occur when a very large video is uploaded. Ensure your video meets YouTube's length and size parameters. If it does, and the error persists, then remove the video from the upload queue completely, re-add the video and re-upload. This can happen if the video failed previously due to connection issues and the inbuilt-auto resume cannot resume the video. This is a known YouTube API issue, but it happens rarely.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).<br />

<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Upload Service Temporarily Unavailable<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This can occur when a very large video is uploaded. Ensure your video meets YouTube's length and size parameters. If it does, and the error persists, then remove the video from the upload queue completely, re-add the video and re-upload. This can happen if the video failed previously due to connection issues and the inbuilt-auto resume cannot resume the video. This is a known YouTube API issue, but it happens rarely.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Response status code does not indicate success: 403 (Forbidden).<br />

'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule.

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up and displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />

This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so).

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Host: checkip.dyndns.org<br />
Port: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up and displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2008 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

<br />
'''Please note''': Only the Video Title and Video Description fields are supported at this time.<br />
<br />
<br />
== SPINTAX / Text Spinning ==<br />
Text Spinning allows us to create videos with unique content. SPINTAX tags can be used anywhere in the Video Description and Video Title fields any number of times. When a video is uploaded or a video is updated at a later date, the SPINTAX tags are randomized each time and applied to the uploaded video.<br />
<br />
'''Example''':<br />
<br />
Video Title: Hello my name is [Sam|Dave|Ashley|Tony|Barbara]<br />
<br />
Video Description: Thanks for [watching|viewing]! I hope you [enjoyed|liked|subscribed to] my video! Stay tuned for [more great stuff|great things to come].<br />
<br />
<br />
So when this video is uploaded (or updated later using the Video Database), a random tag will be selected within each Spin Tag. A Spin Tag uses square brackets to enclose a finite number of possible outcomes (Separated by a pipe | character).<br />
<br />
== Wildcard Tags ==<br />
The software currently supports these wildcard tags. These can be placed anywhere in the Video Title or Video Description fields. When this video is uploaded (or updated later using the Video Database), these tags are replaced with the actual data for the video.<br />
<br />
'''Example''':<br />
<br />
[VIDEOPRIVACY] - The privacy setting for the video: Public, Private or Unlisted<br />
<br />
[VIDEOCATEGORY] - The category name for the video: Comedy, Entertainment, Pets & Animals etc<br />
<br />
[VIDEOTAGS] - A comma separated list of the tags for the video<br />
<br />
[VIDEOFULLFILENAME] - The complete full filename of the video<br />
<br />
[VIDEOFILENAME] - The video filename<br />
<br />
[VIDEOCREATIONTIME] - The creation time of the video in the following example format: 19 February 2015<br />
<br />
== Warning ==<br />
The Video Title field has a maximum limit of 100 characters. Please ensure that your text including any possible wildcard outcomes do not exceed this limit.<br />
The Video Description field has a maximum limit of 5000 characters. Please ensure that your text including any possible wildcard outcomes do not exceed this limit.</div>Adminhttps://ginkosolutions.com/wiki/index.php?title=SPINTAX_and_Wildcard_Tags&diff=50SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags2020-02-01T01:25:56Z<p>Admin: /* SPINTAX / Text Spinning */</p>

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
Port: 80 (HTTP)<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up and displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed videos from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue.

Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only.

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
Port: 80 (HTTP)<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up and displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
99% of the time, this is typically a problem with the YouTube API. Google/YouTube have been doing things (Updates etc) behind the scenes and there is temporary downtime. Please wait 1-24 hours before re-uploading.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed video from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. Now re-try the upload. You may wish to visit your channel in a web browser and delete the failed video.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error will present itself when you have reached your daily upload limit for your channel and/or channel. This limit is imposed by YouTube. Our software has no control over this limit.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so).

'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This is associated with rare problems in the YouTube API. To remedy this: Open a web browser, go to your channel and then delete the failed video. Refresh the page and make sure it is gone completely. Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed video from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. Now re-try the upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
Port: 80 (HTTP)<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up, it displays: a "This app isn't verified" warning<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
YouTube now requires all software titles which uses their API to be verified. This process can take months for a developer to do, so in the meantime, this warning will appear. Perform the following steps to bypass this warning<br />
: Click 'Advanced', then click 'Go to [Software Title Here] (unsafe)'. Click Allow to each dialog that is displayed. Finally the Allow button.<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />

This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
'''Symptoms''': Upload Error: Error:"unauthorized_client", Description:"Unauthorized", Uri:""<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This is associated with rare problems in the YouTube API. To remedy this: Open a web browser, go to your channel and then delete the failed video. Refresh the page and make sure it is gone completely. Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed video from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. Now re-try the upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />

== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />

File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />

'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />

<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [500] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This is associated with rare problems in the YouTube API. To remedy this, go to your channel and delete the failed video. Refresh the page and make sure it is gone completely. Go to the Upload Queue and remove the failed video from the list. Go to the Video Database, find the video, and add it back to the Upload Queue. Now re-try the upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error may present itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time (24 hours or so). If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Optionally, you can create your own API interface with YouTube if you wish to do so. This will give you the flexibility of being solely responsible for the content you wish to upload to YouTube and may provide an alternative maintenance schedule. From software version 4.0 and on wards, please refer to the included document entitled: "API Usage.txt" which is bundled with the software. Alternatively, you can read this information here: [[Create API Interface]]. PLEASE NOTE: Creating your own API interface is entirely optional and we do not provide support for this as we need to keep our support lines open for software issues only. Any such support requests will be removed and deleted.<br />

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />

== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />

<hr />
<div>=== Create your own YouTube API Interface ===<br />
This software uses the official YouTube V3 API in order to upload videos to YouTube. This is provided by YouTube. Software vendors are at the mercy of the API. The API controls what features a software application can use and also various quotas imposed by the API.<br />
<br />
By default, and to keep our software user friendly, we embed the API credentials into the application. This means, all users of our software use the same set of API credentials. If one user decides to ruin it for everybody and uploads illegal content, then this can temporarily disable the API until this user is banned. This usually happens for a short amount of time, but can cause disturbance for many users.<br />
<br />
Anybody can create API credentials, just as long as you have a Google account. If you feel like you would like to create your own set of API credentials, then please do so. This gives you the power to be solely responsible for what you upload to YouTube. You will also will have your own upload quota.<br />
<br />
== Disclaimer ==<br />
This document is intended for experienced users only. We do not support this document nor support any information regarding the contents of this document. It is merely provided for advanced users to create their own API credentials if required. Please do not contact our support service with regards to this document or API support. All such requests will be deleted.<br />
<br />
== Instructions ==<br />
You basically need a Client ID, Client Secret and an API Server Key (or API key). The website and instructions below may have changed slightly since last update, but the requirement for these THREE items will not change.<br />
<br />
1. Go to: https://console.developers.google.com<br />
<br />
2. Create a new project, call it what you like.<br />
<br />
3. Go to the API library and enable the following library: YouTube Data API v3<br />
<br />
4. Click "Credentials" in the left hand pane and click Create Credential.<br />
<br />
5. When creating credentials it will ask the following:<br />
* Which API are you using?, select: YouTube Data API v3<br />
* Where will you be calling the API from?, select: Other UI (Windows)<br />
* What data will you be accessing?, select: User data<br />
<br />
6. Create an OAuth 2.0 client ID. Call it what you like. (This will be our Client ID)<br />
<br />
7. Product name: Call it what you like<br />
<br />
8. You will now have a Client ID<br />
<br />
9. Next to your OAuth 2.0 client IDs, click the edit pencil button, this will present a new screen showing your Client Secret.<br />
<br />
10. Click Create Credential again, and select API Key. This will now give you the API Server Key. Make sure there are 'no restrictions' on this.<br />
<br />
You should now have a: Client ID, Client Secret and an API Server Key (or API key)<br />
<br />
<br />
You now need to add these THREE items (Credentials), we need to add them into YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy:<br />
<br />
1. Within YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy, click Help<br />
<br />
2. Click View Licence Information<br />
<br />
3. Click the blue question mark next to API Application Name<br />
<br />
4. A window will popup asking you for these three items. Ensure these are entered correctly. Hit save.<br />
You are now done.<br />
<br />
<br />
Please make a note of these as when you upgrade to a later version, or re-install, these values will fall back to default. You will need to then enter them again.</div>Adminhttps://ginkosolutions.com/wiki/index.php?title=YouTube_Bulk_Uploader_for_the_Lazy_Troubleshooting_Guide&diff=35YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy Troubleshooting Guide2019-03-03T06:56:18Z<p>Admin: /* Uploading Videos */</p>

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2003 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

<hr />
<div>This page covers some common scenarios you may face when using the software. If you have stumbled across an error and need help, then refer to our [[YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy Troubleshooting Guide]] instead.<br />
<br />
== Adding multiple Channels for the same YouTube Account ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': My account has multiple channels associated with it. How can I manage videos for multiple channels?<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': Very easy! When adding a new channel into the software, simply give the channel a unique name and add the channel into the software. When the web browser windows opened to verify the YouTube account, select the channel you want to assign. Repeat this step for the other channels you wish to add, give each one a unique name within the software.<br />
<br />
== How can I just upload videos without the database? ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': I want to add videos into the software and upload. I do not wish to manage my videos at a later date.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': In Admin > General, there is an option to Content Manage Videos. When you uncheck this option, the entire Video Database video management features of the software is ignored. Every video added into the software will be uploaded to the YouTube account only. It's very useful for users to wish to just upload many videos on a one-time basis.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is the CSV format for importing videos? ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': I wish to import my videos into this software from another application. What is the correct CSV format my data should be in?<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': The CSV format is as follows: '''Channel Name, Video Title, Video Description, Video Tags (Comma Separated), YouTubeCategoryID, Video Privacy (Public|Unlisted|Private), Video YouTubeID, Video Filename (Full file path)'''. A good way to take a closer took at the formatting is to add a few videos into the software and add them to the upload queue. The videos will now be in the database and you can use the Export to CSV feature to carefully analyze the data format.</div>Adminhttps://ginkosolutions.com/wiki/index.php?title=YouTube_Bulk_Uploader_for_the_Lazy&diff=32YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy2017-09-26T17:57:56Z<p>Admin: /* Quick Feature List */</p>

== Adding YouTube Channels ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
Port: 80 (HTTP)<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video upload error: 'Upload Error Value cannot be null. Parameter name: baseUri'<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Video progress is stuck on 'Starting...'<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You have added a new account to the software, however, the authorization/OAuth process did not complete successfully. When adding a new account, or when attempting to upload a video from an account that has not yet been authorized, you must allow the software permission to upload to the YouTube account. If you do not allow permission, the upload will remain at the 'Starting...' status while it waits for required approval.<br />
<br />
When providing the software permission, your default browser will automatically open and re-direct to YouTube. Make sure that the correct account is logged in when providing software permissions. If the default browser window does not open, please make sure your DEFAULT web browser is working correctly.<br />
<br />
If you have managed to upload videos before, then the above error appears, then the authorization link between the YouTube account and this software may have severed. This can happen when removing the settings files used by the software to store this authorization process from your local computer (Invasive software such as CCleaner may have done this). This can also happen if an issue arose with the YouTube account itself (Restricted, banned, limited etc).<br />
<br />
If this error reoccurs, then the software may not have permission to store these changes on your computer for next time. If this is the case, try running the software as an Administrative user so that he software can store these authorization/OAuth permissions.<br />
<br />
If the above steps have been taken, try manually uploading a video to YouTube with the same account. Use your default web browser to ensure that the same YouTube account is being used by the software and to test a manual upload process.<br />
<br />
If all else fails, try adding a new account to the software (with a different account name/label), but using the same YouTube account during the authorization/OAuth process.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
This message appears in software version 2.4 and lower IF the video description is too long. This is because when wildcard tags are replaced, the video description can exceed 5000 characters. Please shorten the video description and try again.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': The upload progress bar displays no progress.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
Your videos may be smaller in physical file size than the video Upload Chunk Size.<br />
Within the settings for the application, you will notice a field named: Upload Chunk Size (KB). This value indicates how your video is uploaded to YouTube. The progress bar only updates when a "chunk" of the video has been uploaded. I.e. If you are uploading a 10MB video with a 20MB Chunk Size, you will see no progress or updates. However, the video will upload and the status will change to Completed when the video is uploaded.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Generic problems uploading videos<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
You may have added videos to the upload queue, then while sitting in the queue, you have manually removed or renamed the physical video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
You have created a new YouTube account and have yet to enable the account for video uploading. When creating a new YouTube account via the website, you MUST set up a channel within the account. This software communicates with video channels, and without a channel, the software cannot upload.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptoms''': Backend Error [503] Errors Message Backend Error - Reason backend. Error Domain: global<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This error presents itself when Google has been fiddling with the YouTube API (This can and does happen; albeit rare) and is unfortunately out of our control. Retry the video upload process at a later time. If the problem re-occurs, please remove the video from the upload queue and use the Video Database to re-add the video to the upload queue. If you do not have the video in the Video Database, just re-add the video into the software and re-upload.<br />

== Adding YouTube Accounts ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Web Browser window pops up but doesn't present YouTube login screen. A message such as "This webpage is not available" may appear.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': <br />
This screen presents itself when the software cannot communicate with Google to authorize the application. This is typically due to network configuration or firewall settings.<br />
<br />
You will need to allow access via the following ports to the following services:<br />
<br />
Host: www.googleapis.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: accounts.google.com<br />
Ports: 80 and 443 (HTTP and HTTPS)<br />
<br />
Host: www.ginkosolutions.com<br />
Port: 80 (HTTP)<br />
<br />
<br />
== Adding Videos to the Software ==<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': A message appears stating: "The name is not valid. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x800300FC (STG_E_INVALIDNAME))". This can also happen when using the File Path Sync and Database Sync utilities.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 1''':<br />
This message appears when one of the required prerequisites has not been installed correctly. Please follow the included ReadMe file with the software and perform all installation steps.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 2''':<br />
Files cannot be accessed with the current user permissions. Elevate your user privileges on your local computer. A good test would be to run the software as an Administrative User and retry.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 3''':<br />
File is located on a network drive, USB drive or other removable storage without required permissions. Check your user access privileges and make sure the current user is able to access the video files.<br />
<br />
'''Solution 4''':<br />
File is location in a directory which is too long. Move the file on your local system so that the total file path length is shorter.<br />
<br />
<br />
'''Symptom''': Cannot drag and drop videos onto the application window. Mouse icon changes to a 'no access' symbol.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''':<br />
This is a security issue with your local computer. It is called UIPI, User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
The source and target processes need to have compatible security levels/privileges. For example, if your source is Explorer and it is running with user level privileges, but your target application is running with administrator (elevated) level permission, you will not be able to drag & drop as this is seen as a security issue as the target is running with a higher level of privileges.<br />
<br />
Designed to prevent input injection exploits from programs that run with restricted privileges.<br />
<br />
You can try the following:<br />
- Store this software in a subdirectory of c:\windows or c:\program files<br />
or<br />
- Running the program as a non-administrative user<br />
or<br />
- Turning off User Interface Privilege Isolation [https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb625963.aspx]<br />
<br />
== Uploading Videos ==<br />

<hr />
<div>This page covers some common scenarios you may face when using the software. If you have stumbled across an error and need help, then refer to our [[YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy Troubleshooting Guide]] instead.<br />
<br />
== Adding Multiple Channels for the same YouTube Account ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': My account has multiple channels associated with it. How can I manage videos for multiple channels?<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': Very easy! When adding a new channel into the software, simply give the channel a unique name and add the channel into the software. When the web browser windows opened to verify the YouTube account, select the channel you want to assign. Repeat this step for the other channels you wish to add, give each one a unique name within the software.<br />
<br />
== How can I just upload videos without the database? ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': I want to add videos into the software and upload. I do not wish to manage my videos at a later date.<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': In Admin > General, there is an option to Content Manage Videos. When you uncheck this option, the entire Video Database video management features of the software is ignored. Every video added into the software will be uploaded to the YouTube account only. It's very useful for users to wish to just upload many videos on a one-time basis.<br />
<br />
<br />
== What is the CSV format for importing videos? ==<br />
<br />
'''Scenario''': I wish to import my videos into this software from another application. What is the correct CSV format my data should be in?<br />
<br />
'''Solution''': The CSV format is as follows: '''Channel Name, Video Title, Video Description, Video Tags (Comma Separated), YouTubeCategoryID, Video Privacy (Public|Unlisted|Private), Video YouTubeID, Video Filename (Full file path)'''. A good way to take a closer took at the formatting is to add a few videos into the software and add them to the upload queue. The videos will now be in the database and you can use the Export to CSV feature to carefully analyze the data format.</div>Adminhttps://ginkosolutions.com/wiki/index.php?title=YouTube_Bulk_Uploader_for_the_Lazy_FAQ&diff=28YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy FAQ2017-09-26T17:52:49Z<p>Admin: /* Adding Multiple Channels for the same YouTube Account */</p>

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2003 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have added the ability to make all Videos Title AND Video Description fields unique using Text Spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your Video Title or Video Description: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload! Learn more about [[SPINTAX and Wildcard Tags]].<br />
<br />
=== Wikipedia Integration ===<br />
New in version 3.0! Wikipedia integration allows users to instantly generate insightful video descriptions from Wikipedia using one click of a button! You can right click on any Video Description, type in any keyword, hit enter and the first paragraph from the matching Wikipedia article is inserted into your Video Description! Article disambiguation is also supported!<br />
<br />
== System Requirements ==<br />
'''Microsoft Windows Users''' <br />
Compatible with all of the latest Windows operating systems, this includes: Windows XP SP3, Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10 and Windows Server 2003 and higher.<br />
<br />
'''Apple MAC Users''' <br />
In order to use this software on an Apple MAC type system, you will need to emulate this native Windows software. Once you perform one of the following steps, you can run almost any Windows software on your MAC! The following options offer different solutions on how to achieve this:<br />
<br />
1. BootCamp. It's an official Apple product which will allow you to use Windows software on a MAC. More Info: https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/ [https://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/]<br />
<br />
2. Virtualize a Windows environment using VMWARE (or similar software). VMWare has a free version which is capable of doing this. More Info: https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion [https://www.vmware.com/products/fusion]<br />
<br />
3. Parallels. Similar to BootCamp, does not require restarting the computer. More Info: http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/ [http://www.parallels.com/products/desktop/]<br />
<br />
4. Wine. Similar to BootCamp, just not developed by Apple. More Info: http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/ [http://www.davidbaumgold.com/tutorials/wine-mac/]<br />
<br />
== Security and Privacy ==<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy utilizes the official YouTube V3 API and the OAuth 2.0 Protocol to achieve it's interfacing with YouTube. Simply put, OAuth enables the user to keep their user details, such as passwords, 100% anonymous! When adding multiple YouTube accounts to this software, the only requirement is a unique username to refer to this account. Once the YouTube account has been added to the software, a web browser window will popup asking for authorization for this software to upload to your YouTube account. No password required! Never use third-party software which requires revealing your password!<br />

<div>The page discusses how to use SPINTAX and Wildcard tags within the software to ensure each video contains unique content.<br />
'''Please note''': Only the Video Title and Video Description fields are supported at this time.<br />
<br />
<br />
== SPINTAX / Text Spinning ==<br />
Text Spinning allows us to create videos with unique content. SPINTAX tags can be used anywhere in the Video Description and Video Title fields any number of times. When a video is uploaded or a video is updated at a later date, the SPINTAX tags are randomized each time and applied to the uploaded video.<br />
<br />
'''Example''':<br />
<br />
Video Title: Hello my name is [Sam|Dave|Ashley|Tony|Barbara]<br />
Video Description: Thanks for [watching|viewing]! I hope you [enjoyed|liked|subscribed to] my video! Stay tuned for [more great stuff|great things to come].<br />
<br />
So when this video is uploaded (or updated later using the Video Database), a random tag will be selected within each Spin Tag. A Spin Tag uses square brackets to enclose a finite number of possible outcomes (Separated by a pipe | character).<br />
<br />
<br />
== Wildcard Tags ==<br />
The software currently supports these wildcard tags. These can be placed anywhere in the Video Title or Video Description fields. When this video is uploaded (or updated later using the Video Database), these tags are replaced with the actual data for the video.<br />
<br />
'''Example''':<br />
[VIDEOPRIVACY] - The privacy setting for the video: Public, Private or Unlisted<br />
[VIDEOCATEGORY] - The category name for the video: Comedy, Entertainment, Pets & Animals etc<br />
[VIDEOTAGS] - A comma separated list of the tags for the video<br />
[VIDEOFULLFILENAME] - The complete full filename of the video<br />
[VIDEOFILENAME] - The video filename<br />
[VIDEOCREATIONTIME] - The creation time of the video in the following example format: 19 February 2015<br />
<br />
<br />
== Warning ==<br />
The Video Title field has a maximum limit of 100 characters. Please ensure that your text including any possible wildcard outcomes do not exceed this limit.<br />
The Video Description field has a maximum limit of 5000 characters. Please ensure that your text including any possible wildcard outcomes do not exceed this limit.</div>Adminhttps://ginkosolutions.com/wiki/index.php?title=YouTube_Bulk_Uploader_for_the_Lazy&diff=23YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy2016-10-21T08:43:32Z<p>Admin: </p>

All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
<br />
=== Video Description SPINTAX ===<br />
New in version 3.0! We have adding the ability to make all videos titles AND descriptions unique using text spinning. For example, placing the following text anywhere in your video title or descrption: "Hello my name is [Bob|Joe|Dave|Sam|Ashley]" will generate a random result for each upload!

<br />
=== Offline Ability ===<br />
The offline ability of the software is truly unique! Preparing videos to upload can be a cumbersome and often quite tedious process. Unlike the YouTube default upload mechanism, you can fully prepare your videos for upload using this software! Simply drag and drop 1, 10 or 1000 videos on to the user interface and the software will automatically prepare default video information based on the video file names. You can then optionally add further video information at your own discretion. If sitting on a train or a passenger on a plane, you can fully prepare your videos for upload! When you next visit a WIFI hotspot, work or home, simply hit the upload button!<br />
<br />
=== Video Content Management System (VCMS) ===<br />
YouTube Bulk Uploader for the Lazy boasts an intelligent, and optional, Video Content Management System (VCMS). In short, a CMS is like a filing cabinet. The ability to pull a requested document from a filing cabinet, without sifting through the entire cabinets contents, is paramount. This feature is entirely optional and can be toggled on or off in the settings tab at any time.<br />
<br />
If this feature is enabled, the software will add each video to the internal database and also physically tag each video with a unique database ID. If the physical video files are moved around on the local computer system, the software can track these movements while keeping the database up to date with the current physical location of each video file.<br />
<br />
As previously mentioned, enabling this option will allow videos to be added to the internal database. When using the internal database, you can edit videos at a later date and also sync these changes with YouTube. You can also re-upload videos and remove videos from the database.<br />
<br />
=== Import/Export to and from CSV Files ===<br />
Interoperability is a vital component within any system. Importing from a CSV allows video data from other similar applications to be transferred into this one. The opposite notion also applies. CSV is a universal plain-text file format which is understood and can be read by all computer systems and devices.<br />
<br />
=== Video Resuming ===<br />
Resuming video uploads is particularly important when dealing with: Poor internet connections, Public Wifi Hotspots and/or large video files. For example, if a video has been 20% uploaded and the internet connection becomes unresponsive, the application will continuously check for an internet connection before re-attempting to upload the remainder of the video.<br />
Unlike the default YouTube Upload Web Interface, If a video is partially uploaded, you are able to stop the video at any point and upload a different video in its place. All partial uploads are stored for each video file in the upload queue, so even though an older video uploaded to 20% and a few videos have been uploaded since, you can STILL resume this older upload from 20%!<br />
