Flickr Video: Filetype was not recognised

Closed this issue 6 years ago · 4 comments

For uploading a Video via Flickr API and this gem, which mime types/ application types do work? I tried now webm and also avi but both do not seem to work.

However, using the Flickr Web-interface, does work just fine for those files.

Any ideas? Thanks!

The content type is hardcoded to image/jpeg on upload. It used to work...
I will try to have it be an option and see if it works.

Using the content_type argument like described here works for mp4 videos:

Also tried with ogg videos but it seems flickr doesn't support them and returns a Filetype was not recognised error.
Seems like this can be closed as it is no further an issue with this gem.
