Hey guys!

 In an app I've written I load an flv file in a mini-player and allow the user to seek through the file, hit a capture button and extract that frame as a thumbnail to use for that video on their site.

This was all working well but I was having caching issues with Firefox, so I decided to add a number to all my image.

Now I get an error when trying to create the item for share, even though I can see the item exists on the CDN.

result=FailedOn2 for husband_thumb71.jpg: Invalid path
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
    <ResponseCode>70005</ResponseCode>
    <ErrorMessage>Invalid path</ErrorMessage>
</Response>

Is there a log you guys keep so you can see if I was pointing to the correct file, because honestly I cannot see the issue here.

Our account name is tribecdn.

Thanks for any info.
 

I am looking through the logs now, this may take a few.  What node are you doing this work on?

node1 Barry.

As you can see, the file is there so not sure why I get that error.

Thanks 

In the error logs we see the call to CreateHostedItem and then 126 milliseconds later the file is finished uploading.  It seems you are calling the CreateHostedItem before the file exists.

Let me know if this helps.

Hi Barry,

Thanks for the reply.

What I'm actually doing in this case is extracting a single frame from an flv to use as a thumbnail. So the flv is actually uploaded in advance, then a "Media Object" is created and the flv linked to it, and that's where I get the issue. When I click on the flv I create a mini player allowing the user to scroll through, find a frame they like and click a button to capture that frame.

So my code looks like this: http://crazymerlin.com/testbed/thumb_function.txt

And the writeToLog method output to an instance of this is as follows:

 [Mon May 19 08:32:28 2008]
result=FailedOn2 for /thumbs/husband_thumb131.jpg: Invalid path
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Response>
    <ResponseCode>70005</ResponseCode>
    <ErrorMessage>Invalid path</ErrorMessage>
</Response>

If you want to test it yourself you may do so here: http://crazymerlin.com/vg_utils/mm/m_man.php?cmd=create_object

As I'm writing this I'm wondering if it is actually necessary to share the item at all.

Anyway, thanks for any help.

 

Ok, fixed this now.

Just created a callback function to see if the image was available.

Thanks,

Paul
