PatSmack started this discussion · 5/6/2013

Going through the feed I noticed that members, myself included, were having difficulties uploading their videos. Some members only get the info boxes with out a upload button, I have the upload button, which works, but upon selecting the video i get a IO error message. I created this thread to get the studioveena.com staff a chance to reply to this current tech problem here. I thought I was over the limit on video uploads to I deleted one and tried to upload I tried restarting my pc I tried different file formats all to get the same results on the IO error.

We are talking about two different issues here. If you you are not seeing the full uploader there is a problem with flash on your computer which can be caused by several things including but not limited to: 1) Not having flash 2) Your flash component is broken 3) You are on a portable device that doesn't have or doesn't allow flash If you are getting an IO error it is typicall one of three things: 1) Flash does not have sufficient access to your file system (this can happen after an upgrade to your anti-virus software or browser) 2) There is some extreme unreliability in your internet connection (If latency between packets is too high the upload will break) 3) Our temp filesystem is full (I just verified this is not the case) 4) Your particular file is not properly formatted (since you've tried multiple formats this is highly unlikely) My guess is 1 or 2 are your most likely culprits. You could try uploading from a different location or even different computer. In the end video is a fickle mistress and oftentimes just waiting fixes it. I can't tell you how many times we've had an issue with Youtube that simply fixes itself later on with no effort on our part or that of Youtube.
