Remote Upload

Apparently, This plugin doesn’t detect that new video is uploading if it’s uploaded remotely using the XML-RPC API.

That’s very likely since I’ve never tested XML-RPC, but this plugin does a lot of different things. What specific function isn’t working if you upload the video using XML-RPC?

Thanks for the quick reply.
All the automatic upload functions do not work, I’m interested specifically in fixing the generation of a thumbnail automatically while the video is being uploaded.

Got it. I’ll do some testing but it might take me a while to get to the bottom of it. For what it’s worth, no matter how you upload videos, thumbnails can’t be created until after the entire file is uploaded.

I’m just throwing out guesses, but if your site is private and not getting any other traffic, the WP-Cron feature that the automatic thumbnail generation relies on probably wouldn’t be triggered if nobody is accessing the site except through the Android app.

I was referring to this FFMPEG option in plugin settings:
+ Generate (1) thumbnail from 50% of the way through the video.

I can confirm that accessing the website or the video link in a normal browser doesn’t change anything.
