A youtube video not working, another one works perfectly.

[kerk...@gmail.com]

This youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6120QOlsfU can't be uploaded to my concerto server.

It makes the add content page print this error:

Mysql2::Error: Incorrect string value: '\xE2\x96\xB6 ht...' for column 'data' at row 1: INSERT INTO `contents` (`type`, `name`, `duration`, `start_time`, `end_time`, `kind_id`, `user_id`, `data`, `created_at`, `updated_at`) VALUES ('RemoteVideo', 'asd', 233, '2016-07-31 18:00:00', '2016-08-31 17:59:00', 1, 1, '{\"video_vendor\":\"YouTube\",\"video_id\":\"y6120QOlsfU\",\"allow_flash\":\"0\",\"title\":\"Darude - Sandstorm\",\"description\":\"WATCH NEW DARUDE VIDEO \\\"BEAUTIFUL ALIEN\\\" ▶ http://youtu.be/fUy2lKEfWr8 http://darude.com, http://facebook.com/darude, http://twitter.com/darudevil, http://tw...\",\"duration\":233,\"preview_url\":\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y6120QOlsfU\",\"preview_code\":\"<iframe src=\\\"//www.youtube.com/embed/y6120QOlsfU\\\" frameborder=\\\"0\\\" allowfullscreen=\\\"allowfullscreen\\\"></iframe>\",\"thumb_url\":\"https://i.ytimg.com/vi/y6120QOlsfU/hqdefault.jpg\",\"video_available\":true}', '2016-08-01 16:41:25', '2016-08-01 16:41:25')

But then this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9jK-NcRmVcw 

Can get uploaded, and will play on my concerto screen.

Can anyone explain this error to me, and why does it cause one video to fail uploading and another video still works?

IT is for this very reason that I simply download my videos to a local server and play them from there as mp4 files.

It works very reliably, even when YouTube or others change their methods of delivery.

Simply set up a basic web server and put your mp4 files in there and link to them with the Concerto content manager.

Works for me!

Doug
