created issue #1

Jun 2, 2018 02:10PM

I am trying to implement a script that tell me if my last sharde VIDEO on Google Photo are ready or not.
For me, ready means optimal resolution (1080p).

Take any video footage like :

https://www.libde265.org/hevc-bitstreams/tos-4096x1720-tiles.mkv
Upload this to your Google Photo account (drag drop in browser)
Next I am using the Builtin API console on Reference page :

https://developers.google.com/photos/library/reference/rest/v1/mediaItems/search
Params :
{
"pageSize": 1,
"filters": {
"mediaTypeFilter": {
"mediaTypes": [
"VIDEO"
]
}
}
}

Then I was expected to see :
"width": "480",
"height": "360",
"video": {
"status": "PROCESSING" or "status": "READY"
}
While Google is generating the 1080p format
but I always get :
"width": "1920",
"height": "1080",
"video": {
"status": "READY"
}
Even few seconds after upload when the video was available on google photo only with smaller format.
I was also expected for an event push API on this "status".

Thanks for filling this report!

It looks like the metadata for video media items is not correct in this case. Have you seen this with other video files as well?
I have forwarded this to the team and will update this issue once we have any updates.

(I suspect this might also be somewhat related to

Marked as fixed.

We have fixed a few underlying issues with video processing over the last few releases. I'll close this issue for now, but please reopen this issue if you are still having this exact problem. The Library API should be returning correct metadata for uploaded video files. If you are uploading a file through the API, please also ensure to set a filename with the correct file extension.

(There are some known limitations on the quality of videos that are returned from the API, see

https://issuetracker.google.com/80149160 and

https://issuetracker.google.com/113672044 ) Please file a new feature request describing how you would use an event push API in your application to handle video status updates. We would be interested to understand your use case.

Re #4 - have you enabled "high quality" storage for Google Photos?

https://support.google.com/photos/answer/6220791

Just to confirm, does

photos.google.com return the video at the correct quality at a later time once it has been processed? Does the API return a video of the correct resolution at that time as well?
(I wonder if there's an issue with the processing of the video itself.)

We have just rolled out a chance that addresses this issue.

The status field for video metadata will now correctly return the status of the highest quality video available, ie. it will now correctly return "PROCESSING" while the video is being processed and "READY" when the video at the dimensions returned in the video metadata is available.
