Hi,

I asked a question in this topic ( https://support.jwplayer.com/customer/portal/questions/15931092-add-url-and-get-media-id?b_id=11850 ) but I got no answer. Please, can you help me?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Daniel.

None of the three CSV examples you provided on the other post resemble the template we provide at the link below. If you are creating your CSV in Microsoft Excel, then you would want to make sure each value is in a separate column, including the header row labeling all of the columns. If you are creating your CSV in a text editor, you would want to do the same, but instead of separate columns, each value will be separated by a comma, but you would still need to include the header row.

Thank you.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your answer. I created a CSV file in Microsoft Excel using separted columns ( http://46.31.56.211/lab_front/JWPlayer_API/jwplatform_manifest_template.csv ) and it didn't work ( http://46.31.56.211/lab_front/JWPlayer_API/batch.php ). It shows same response like with the rest of files that I tested:

upload success. key = upload success. key = upload success. key = upload success. key =

Then I created another CSV file with Notepad++ ( http://46.31.56.211/lab_front/JWPlayer_API/ingest_text.csv ) and it didn't work either ( http://46.31.56.211/lab_front/JWPlayer_API/batch2.php ) but now it shows a fail.

Like I posted, I'm using the batch.php file from "api-batchupload.zip".

Do you kown what's going on?

Thanks in advance.

Hi, Daniel.

Your jwplatform_manifest_template.csv file is still showing up incorrect for me, but the ingest_text.csv file looks good, which is most likely why you are actually receiving a pass or fail message in return.

Have you tried using ingest_text.csv with valid values for your files, instead of the sample data we put in there?

Thanks Alex! Now ingest_text.csv works with valid values.

Hi again Alex,

Is it possible to ingest videos only with the URL? I mean like when you ADD via URL through your browser, instead of ADD via UPLOAD.
I can add through my browser new content only with a "fake" URL. Then I try to do the same through the ingest and it said:

" There was an error processing your file: Media file contains no recognized video stream"

What I am trying to do consists of only have analytics for the title, not uploading any videos.
