PS: there is a link to add an image, but not to attach a zip file. How do I do that?

@sebastientromp it should work, but we will check it. The other functions of this API is working as expected? performuserlogin() etc?

Regarding the upload - I now allowed to upload zip as well.

#3

So here are the logs :slight_smile:

All the other features are working fine, it’s just the upload that gets rejected.
I remember that at some point Twitter would reject uploads of high-quality videos, or of videos that were too big, but in this case the video is quite small and low res.

@sebastientromp thanks. I sent the logs to our R&D for investigation. We will have an update in a few days.

Thanks.

#5

Hi @sebastientromp . we can’t reproduce the error.
We tried uploading several videos, different resolutions/trimming etc., all worked.
and the logs are sadly kind of useless in this case.

could you please send me the vid that failed to upload?
and also the call to the API that you made to share.

Thanks

So it’s good to know it’s an issue on my side then :slight_smile:

The video is here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/nxdj6u3qvuna7xq/Hearthstone%2009-02-2019%2010-26-39-414.mp4?dl=0

And the call made to the OW API is

const shareParam = {
	file: filePathOnDisk, // "C:\Users\Daedin\Videos\Overwolf\Firestone\Hearthstone\Hearthstone_09-02-2019_10-26-14-240\Hearthstone 09-02-2019 10-26-39-414.mp4"
	message: message, // "One more #hearthstone #achievement unlocked! | Giant Rat | Captured by Firestone"
};
overwolf.social.twitter.share(shareParam, (res, error) => {
	console.log('uploaded file to twitter', res, error); // Returns "success", but the video is never uploaded, and I get a popup error that tells me the upload failed (see the above logs)
	resolve(res);
});

@eransharv Just pinging you to be sure you saw the reply :slight_smile:

#8

@sebastientromp hey, following our conversation, please let me know when you have an app version with twitter sharing enabled, so more tests can be performed, as the file uploads without issue in our tests.
