I uploaded an MP3 audio file and titled it:
- Saga - Ode to a Dying People (Live in London 2009, with White Nationalists) (Rahowa cover)
It uploaded properly:
I just went to upload the MP4 video file that the MP3 audio file was saved from and tried to give it the same title, but it is a completely different file - larger size and an MP4 video file.
After going through slowly uploading it (slow net), it hit 92% and went into upload finalization. It then gave me an error saying that the file I just uploaded has already been uploaded to vid8 and it sent me back to the upload page.
As this video did not already exist on vid8, I guessed that it was just that the title of this MP4 upload matched the title of the MP3 upload.
I dropped the MP4 file back on and dropped the "(Rahowa cover)" portion of the title so it would be a different title:
- Saga - Ode to a Dying People (Live in London 2009, with White Nationalists)
I expected it to resume the upload and finalize now that I had altered the title to being unique. It did go back to the processing page and showed 92% progress on the upload, but it then reset to 0% after a few seconds and proceeded to reupload the video again from the start.
If possible, could a check be made upon hitting to upload a file, but prior to initiating the upload, to see if the chosen title for the upload already matches an existing upload so that we can have a chance to alter the title before uploading and avoid needing to reupload the file all over again please?
EDIT:
Or perhaps instead of sending back to the upload page after it detects the duplicate title, allow the chosen title to be altered right there from the processing page so that the uploaded file can be finalized without needing to start all over again?
