I tried to do a CSV upload of video links. These were FETCH ONLY, no conversions.

Upload completed, images were added correctly, video entries created, but the links were all incorrectly formatted. All the links were youtube links.

So the videos were all created but on every video it said "video not found".

I'm going to try again in a bit and I'll give you the format that the links end up with. They were not the same in the database as links that are fetched through the frontend fetch form.

I assuming you are using backend import link ...

Please read instruction in excel file.
this tool is to import remote video with url pointing to physical file

Wow. Please read my posts before commenting without providing any helpful information.

It is worse than no post at all. It takes days to get anything resolved here because you don't address the issues in the posts.

Yeah, using the import tool.

Yeah, I read the instructions, that's how I was able to get the video import to complete and create all the video entries.

The problem: links after important were incorrectly formatted.

In the instructions it just says to provide the link to the video, so there was a list of links in that column with this format:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=UASS1qFAIQ8

however, once imported, non of the videos worked because the tool wasn't able to properly format the link.

Obviously, you did read my comment.

Does www.youtube.com/watch?v=UASS1qFAIQ8 point to a physical video file. ?

How would do you point to the physical video file for a youtube hosted video?
