So if the video upload fails - that counts as 1 attempt to upload correct?
If my understanding is correct we get appox 40 uploads a day. Please correct me if I am wrong here.

If this is in fact the case - what can be done in this situation to ensure that our failed uploads do not count as a actual upload?

Also I am experiencing failed uploads when uploading MPEG4 files from my PC that I got from ITunes, Is this a coding issue ?

Thanks

I have been having the same exact trouble importing YouTube videos & it`s getting worse. The problem began about a week or so ago. I`ve clicked Retry probably 20 times so far during the last hour & the video will not encode. It seems to be with the YouTube importer, because I don`t have this problem when I upload.

i made a test ... i downloaded one of my own videos from youtube in .flv and .avi format and UPLOADED them to my livestream... both completed successfully but when i try to download the exact same video with Livestream youtube importer it worked 2 times out of 27 times

i get : Unable to download the video. Age verification may be required or this video may have been temporarily blocked or removed by YouTube..... whichi know isn't true cuz it's my video and i knowthat it's running

can someone check this out ... plz it's really the importer that bugs

Same here. A week or two ago, by clicking several times the retry button it would come in after a couple of attempts, but today I have tried about 10 times and it has still not worked. Hope that we can get the bug worked out, or let us know if Youtube importing is an option that is over.

We are aware of these issues, the problem seems to be due to YouTube platform changes and are looking into a long term solution. For now, you can either retry the import until it works or download the clip from YouTube and upload from your desktop. Thank you for your patience.

I've been having the same issue over and over. It gives me the same error everytime I try to put a new video on my site.

As have I. Like, when I do the [Enter URL] thing, it works, but when I try to drag it into the Storyboard, I get the error everyone mentioned. Age verification etc., no matter how many times I click "retry".

Does anyone know what the hell is happening since last night w/Livestream not importing anymore Youtube clips?
