Video-JS and mobile

[bbushong]

I feel like I'm missing something obvious. Using IOS and Piwigo Mobile 2.0.2(17). I'm trying to upload a .MOV file, but instead, only a small .jpg get uploaded instead. It appears that this "conversion" is happening at the client side. I've enabled everything in local/config/config.inc.php:
$conf['upload_form_all_types'] = true;
$conf['file_ext'] = array('jpg','JPG','jpeg','JPEG','png','PNG','gif','GIF','mpg','zip','avi','mp3','ogg','mov','MOV');

When I upload using a browser on a computer, videos upload, and playback works on both IOS and desktop. Just can't upload video from IOS. From tcpdump, here is header showing the content type being uploaded:

POST /ws.php?format=json&method=pwg.images.upload HTTP/1.1
Host:
Content-Type: multipart/form-data; boundary=Boundary+DF3C0F0AE091BB22

--Boundary+DF3C0F0AE091BB22
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file"; filename="IMG_8371.MOV"
Content-Type: image/jpeg

(BOLD added).

Also, when I go to upload, it is clear it is uploading only an image due to the speed at which it does it.

Is this not a supported feature? I get the impression it is from the documentation.

Thanks for reporting.
Yes, there are several issues (see also issues #119 and #120) which I would like to fix so that videos can finally be uploaded/downloaded to a Piwigo server. Following your post and several tests, I've discovered that replacing .MOV with .MP4 on iOS looks fine. I shall therefore try to fix these issues in version 2.0.4 (2.0.3 is out and being tested).

[bbushong]

I REALLY appreciate you taking a look at this, and I had seen those other posts, but I'm still a little confused. I get the impression from other locations on here (https://github.com/Piwigo/Piwigo-Mobile/wiki/How-to-Upload-and-Stream-Video) that you can upload video from the iPhone/iPad... if not the native videos, what/how can you upload video in general? I have a GoPro, which does record in MP4 format, and I tried uploading something that I had saved to the camera role using that... same issue (here is the capture):

Thank you again for all your work! If you ever need a tester, let me know!
Thanks,

I understand why you thought the iOS app should work with videos. The wiki page has been written in 2015 and that was surely working fine at that time. I should update it...

I've started working on this project recently and discovered many bugs, some of them due to the evolution of the iOS SDK. So I fix them step by step whilst migrating deprecated libraries.

I will be pleased to add you to the list of beta testers. Just send me your name/email using my email address.

[EddyLB]

You are now added to the list of TestFlight testers. Thank you for your willing to help.

[plegall]

I just made a test with TestFlight version 2.0.4(25) and I get quite an unexpected result.

Piwigo-VideoJS is activated and I have this in my local configuration:

$conf['upload_form_all_types'] = true;
$conf['file_ext'] = array_merge(
  $conf['picture_ext'],
  array('mov', 'MOV')
  );

The iOS app let me upload a video. And at the very end of the upload, I get "Video Upload Error - You need to add the extension "VideoJS"....".

[EddyLB]

VideoJS only accepts these formats: mp4, ogg, webm or MP4, OGG, WEBM as explained here. So the app replaces the .MOV extension with .MP4 as suggested. When downloading, it does the reverse to allow storing the video file in the Photos app.

The iOS app checks that VideoJS is installed at start if the user has admin rights but cannot check the web config. I guess I should update the alert and invite to check the configuration.

[EddyLB]

@plegall, could you please tell me which formats are accepted by your server as shown here ?

[plegall]

jpg, jpeg, png, gif, mov, ogg, ogv, mp4, m4v, webm, webmv

{ogg, ogv, mp4, m4v, webm, webmv} are automatically added by Piwigo-VideoJS

[EddyLB]

To my understanding, you should have "jpg, jpeg, png, gif" provided by Piwigo and "ogg, ogv, mp4, m4v, webm, webmv" added by Piwigo-VideoJS. mov is added by your local configuration and should not because it won't be managed by Piwigo-VideoJS

My configuration is: $conf['upload_form_all_types'] = true;

I encounter the issue with the demo server (but not mine) and hope to get a fix soon.
I shall then submit a new build.

[EddyLB]

@plegall, here is the error I get at the end of the upload with the demo server:
NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=3840 "JSON text did not start with array or object and option to allow fragments not set."

In fact, the demo server returns an empty message:

<NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x608000233d60>
{ URL: https://piwigo.us/dev/eddy//ws.php?format=json&method=pwg.images.upload }
{ status code: 200, headers {
    "Cache-Control" = "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0";
    Connection = "Keep-Alive";
    "Content-Encoding" = gzip;
    "Content-Length" = 40;
    "Content-Type" = "text/html";
    Date = "Sat, 03 Jun 2017 11:51:52 GMT";
    Expires = "Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT";
    "Keep-Alive" = "timeout=5, max=100";
    Pragma = "no-cache";
    Server = Apache;
    Vary = "Accept-Encoding";
} }
(null)

While my server returns a JSON object:

<NSHTTPURLResponse: 0x600000233b80>
{ URL: https://lelievre-berna.net/Eddy/ws.php?format=json&method=pwg.images.upload }
{ status code: 200, headers {
    "Cache-Control" = "no-store, no-cache, must-revalidate, post-check=0, pre-check=0";
    Connection = "Keep-Alive";
    "Content-Encoding" = gzip;
    "Content-Length" = 186;
    "Content-Type" = "text/plain; charset=utf-8";
    Date = "Sat, 03 Jun 2017 11:57:25 GMT";
    Expires = "Thu, 19 Nov 1981 08:52:00 GMT";
    "Keep-Alive" = "timeout=5, max=100";
    Pragma = "no-cache";
    Server = "Apache/2.4.10 (Debian)";
    Vary = "Accept-Encoding";
} }
{
    result =     {
        category =         {
            id = 449;
            label = "Test Album";
            "nb_photos" = 1;
        };
        "image_id" = 34314;
        name = "IMG 0006";
        src = "https://lelievre-berna.net/Eddy/plugins/piwigo-videojs/mimetypes/mp4.png";
    };
    stat = ok;
}

In both cases, the upload is successful (status code 200) but the absence of response from the demo server leads to an error. Could you please have a look at the logs ?

The only significative difference I see between the servers is that mediainfo and ffmpeg are not installed on the demo server.

[EddyLB]

@plegall, have you had a chance to look into this?

[plegall]

Hi @EddyLB

1. I just installed mediainfo and ffmpeg
2. In the log file (from June 3rd 2017) I find many errors like:

identify.im6: Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x2f 0x39 `/home/sys/var/www/piwigo.us/dev/eddy/upload/2017/06/03/20170603112112-ed6661e6.jpg' @ error/jpeg.c/JPEGErrorHandler/316.

[EddyLB]

@plegall,

• Can I access the logs on the Dev server? How?
• What are the paths of mediainfo/ffmpeg ? I still get warnings in Plugins / VideoJS / Synchronize.

[EddyLB]

@plegall I get the following error on the dev server: Please use at least MediaInfo version 0.7.64 or higher, not 0.7.58.
Can you please update mediainfo on the dev server?

[EddyLB]

@plegall, can you please update MediaInfo 0.7.58 to version 0.7.64 or higher? That is requested for using VideoJS and probably the reason for which the uploads fail.

[plegall]

I just deactivated this test in piwigo-videojs (as far as I know, this test is useless)

[EddyLB]

Same result with the iOS app. With regard the web interface, the uploaded video has no icon (an image of 0x0 pixels) and I get the message: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/sys/var/www/piwigo.us/dev/eddy/plugins/piwigo-videojs/admin/admin_photo.php on line 128
I suspect that the function does not complete its task and that is why I get no HTTP answer on the iOS app (leading to an error message).

[EddyLB]

@plegall, the iOS app v2.0.4 build 40 has now been tested successfully with two Piwigo servers on which MediaInfo and ffmpeg are correctly installed. If you could update MediaInfo 0.7.58 on the dev server, I am pretty sure that will work with that one too.

[EddyLB]

This is fixed according to several TestFlight testers so I close this issue.
