Hi friends,
Here is a nice project to import wonderful interviews of hundred humanities scientists on Wikimedia commons for enhance editorial Wikimedia projects. All these videos are already on youtube on the channel "[[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCb5YUvJjEpeGBvmFOUasKoA|Les Possédés et leurs mondes]] " :
I'm in touch with the author of all videos and he is ok for the importation and the CC.BY.SA license. My first plan was to import video from youtube with https://tools.wmflabs.org/video2commons/ as soon as the author had applies the CC.BY license on it on youtube. The license CC.BY.SA is not any more available on youtube, probably because Google don't like Share alike conditions that make impossible to place under copyright derivative production as they make frequently.
This first plan fell through as a result of this error message : " Error: An exception occurred: DownloadError: ERROR: 5laV_fLSX4E: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data". The message displayed on the web page befor to broke the web page accessiblility and after fonctionnality. I gone post the bug just after this task post.
My second plan is to directly import to commons, videos from a hard disc connected to my desktop. But that's means multiple To of very big video files... After checking help on commons to accomplish this task, I've found [[https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Batch_uploading|this page talking about Batch uploading]], but that's concern only pictures. The https://tools.wmflabs.org/glam2commons/ also talk about picture but not video...
So finally I'm opening this task to see if some one can give me a hand or give me some tips for completing this project.
Cheers,
