ashishgoyal · June 16, 2015, 2:12pm

Hello All,

When i try bulk upload videos by XML on admin_console its working fine. But when i try it by PHP API it gives me below error

exception ‘KalturaClientException’ with message ‘failed creating formpost data’ in /Kaltura/KalturaClientBase.php:357\nStack trace:\n#0 /Kaltura/KalturaClient.php(4933): KalturaClientBase->doQueue()\n#1 \Kaltura/Media.php(278): KalturaMediaService->bulkUploadAdd(‘http://domain.c…’, Object(KalturaBulkUploadFilterJobData), NULL)…

Please find the using PHP API code:

    function bulkUpload($fileData = null){
        	$kClient  = $this->_kClient;
	$kConfig  = $this->_kConfig;
            $fileData = './bulk-upload-file/bulkUpload_1433408776.xml';
            $bulkUploadData = new KalturaBulkUploadFilterJobData();
            $bulkUploadEntryData = null;                
            $result = $kClient->media->bulkuploadadd($fileData, $bulkUploadData, $bulkUploadEntryData); }

Can you please help me guys?

Hello,

See this example:

github.com

kaltura/platform-install-packages/blob/Jupiter-10.14.0/RPM/scripts/postinst/upload_bulk.php

<?php
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/create_session.php');
if (count($argv)<6){
    echo 'Usage:' .__FILE__ .' <service_url> <partner id> <secret> <uploader> </path/to/csv> <bulkUploadXml.XML|bulkUploadCsv.CSV>'."\n";
    exit (1);
}
// relevant account user
$partnerId = $argv[2];
$config = new KalturaConfiguration($partnerId);
// URL of the API machine
$config->serviceUrl = $argv[1];
// sha1 secret
$secret = $argv[3];
$uploadedBy = $argv[4];
$userId = null;
$expiry = null;
$privileges = null;
//csv file to use
$csvFileData = $argv[5];
// type here is CSV but can also work with XML

I am using below code for upload bulk videos:-

$bulkUploadType = ‘CSV’;
$conversionProfileId = $kclient->conversionProfile->getDefault()->id;
$csvFileData = file_get_contents(‘bulkUploadXml.csv’);
try
{
$results = $kclient->bulkUpload->add($conversionProfileId, $csvFileData, $bulkUploadType, $uploadedBy);
if (isset($results)){
echo “Successfully uploaded”;
}else{
echo “Failed to upload :(”;
}
}
catch(Exception $e)
{
print_r($e);
}

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

What PHP version are you using? Also, are you working against our SaaS or a self hosted instance?
If self hosted, what version of server are you running and what PHP and also, look at the /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_api_v3.log for errors when making the request.

ashishgoyal · June 23, 2015, 11:44am

Hello Jess,

I am using PHP 5.3.3 and using self hosted instance.
Also my server version CentOS 6.6.

I have tried to read log file. But not able to get anything from it.
Can you please let me know how can i solve that problem?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Please look at the log at /opt/kaltura/log/kaltura_api_v3.log and look for errors to better understand what in the flow goes wrong.
