Hi, I have a bug report, not sure where to post it so I'll try this thread.
It seems the Uploadr (I've tried several versions between 3.0-3.1) is unable to pick up description tags when they contain national characters, such as the swedish 'å', 'ä' and 'ö'.
Is this a known error? Can it be fixed?
Edit: I should add that the descriptions were added from Picasa 2 if that matters. Also, it would be wonderful if keywords added in picasa2 could be picked up as tags by the Uploadr.

It looks like I get to uninstall this one, too. I tried an earlier version (3.0.5) and had countless problems; 3.1.0 has only one: the upload stalls at 93% every time I upload even a single photo. When I go to my Flickr page, the photo is there, even though the Uploadr will stay at the 93% mark for the next hour if I leave it open. The next time I use the Uploader I have to remove the last photo, since it's still not showing as having completed. Back to the old Uploader, which works.

I keep getting "Bonk!" problems with the web uploader or it would sometimes just freeze my computer (or crash Firefox) when attempting to upload videos larger than 5MB.

Let's see if I can explain this right...
When I open uploadr , it does not give me an option to drag and drop files, it just immediately starts putting my images from my pictures on the screen. I, of course do not need ALL my photos uploaded again. I have uninstalled and reinstalled a couple of times, and it has not fixed the problem. Am I missing something? Thanks!

Here is a problem, that is not just a video issue, but more general:
If you 'add' big directories with, say, 1000 files to Uploadr, it takes hours to render them to the local Uploadr preview window, even before sending. And the Uploadr starves the rest of the computer with 99% CPU load. There is almost no way to abort, even unistalling will not help: Uploadr will continue the same exhausting job after re-installation!

I downloaded this new Uploadr to upload a video. That didn't work (see above post) but it also doesn't work for photos. How do I get a copy of the old one that worked fine? I'm now stuck using the web one.... blech.
I get the yellow warning icon and in the console it says:
Error: Cc{'@flickr.com/gm;1'] is undefinied Line 32
source file chrome;//uploadr/content/threads.js
Error: threads.gm is null Line 58
Source File chrome;//uploadr/content/threads.js
Error: Line 268
Source File chrome;//uploadr/content/threads.js
I have tried hitting clear in the error console. I tried erasing the uploadr and reinstalling.

Are there any upload tools for mobile phones that will allow video uploads? I have a Nokia N93, and can upload photos using the built in application, but videos are currently not supported. Do you know if there are any plans to add support for video?
I realise I can upload via email, or by using m.flickr.com but the Nokia upload tool is so easy to use.

I'm having huge problems with the uploadr. I'm only using it to upload phots (3.05 was worse).
The upload process dies with a message that XULRunner has stopped working. Sometimes this is after uploading one picture, sometimes 2, the most it has done without being restarted is 8.
I'm running on Vista Premium SP1

I can't drag & drop photos from my Picasa2 library into the new uploadr. I get the little circle-with-a-slash symbol. Anyone know what's going on? I can drag & drop from My Pictures, no problem. The old uploadr was fine both ways.
Thanks!
ETA: Still having this problem, but I found a workaround: the (awesome) picasa2flickr plugin supervenes it.

I have the 3.1 version linked at the top of the thread, and using it only for photos (no videos).
Each time I try to upload photos, it gets to 95% or more and then gets stuck. It doesn't create the new set that I've requested, doesn't add the photos to the set, and will not verify the upload and take me to the completion screen. It does upload all the photos.
I'm not uploading huge batches - only 15-20 photos at a time.
Please help!

I have a bug in 3.0.5 that I would like to know if 3.1.0 fixes:
I have set multiple, perhaps a dozen or more, batches in que to upload. Each batch is associated with either a new or existing group. If the upload stalls, I can hit retry and the upload immediately resumes. The problem is that everything that is uploaded after the retry no longer goes into any set. I have to spend hours resorting everything that is uploaded after the resume.
While on the subject, is there any way that Uploadr could be programmed to automatically retry a few times, in case of stalled uploads?
Thanks a bundle!

On two separate occasions with v 3.1 English for Mac OSX 10.4.11, the upload successfully completes getting the photos into my stream with tags, titles, and descriptions, but totally fails to add the images to the set I've selected. I even let it run for an hour last time before giving up. When I quit the program and re-open, the images are still in there and I have to clear them. The images have to be manually added to the sets after upload.
[edit to add]: and hitting the cancel button does nothing. I have to use Quit, at which point it generates an error message and then quits.

Also? Why does it not accept .wmv files? The .wmv is only 4.30MB and is only 1:05 in length so, therefore, it should accept. But it just has an exclamation point. And when I click on the exclamation point to see what the error might be, it removes the file from queue. So, it's no help. Great.

Got it to work now. Remove authorization of uploadr within the account preferences and re-authorizing brought back the upload button.
Before the uploadr WAS authorized and also telling me that I'm signed it and showed my user icon.
Anyway its working now, so I just want to share my experience for other users which may also be affected by it.

I'm having a similiar problem to Mrs. FireMom. I'm trying to upload AVI files using Uploadr 3.1. The format is "Apple OpenDML JPEG." I took the video using a Canon PowerShot S1 IS, this is the format that the camera saves it in. Whether I drag and drop the video in or use the add button, I get a little exclamation point and the file won't upload. The videos will upload fine use the web upload.

Using a PC, Win XP (SP-2) and new 3.1 Uploader... Previously I was able to upload an .AVI file taken from my digital camera via the web uploader. Today, I took one of my .AVI files and converted it in Windows Movie Maker (as suggested by flickr staff in this forum: www.flickr.com/help/forum/en-us/70131/). My process in Windows Movie Maker was: (a) import .AVI file; (b) drag imported file down into the Show Story's Video block; (c) Click on File, Save Movie Wizard using default options; (d) a Movie.wmv file was created; (e) dragged that file into the flickr Uploadr and I get a yellow exclamation triangle; click on the yellow ! and it just disappears.
- Am I doing something wrong?
- Why is there just a yellow ! triangle but nothing to explain the symbol or error?
- Why does it just simply disappear?
I was able to upload today's file via the web uploadr. This is frustrating to say the least.

I've had a quick look through this thread and can't see anyone with similar problems - I've not been able to upload photos via the Uploadr for a couple of days. I'm using the Mac version and started off with v2.3, I was able to upload one batch, but the next day it stopped working. The error I was getting was that there was a network problem and I wasn't connected to the internet (which clearly is not correct, as here I am!). I thought upgrading to the latest version would help, but I'm still getting the same problem.
I can upload via the web interface - but I've got hundreds to upload and don't really want to have to use that.
Cheers

Hi,

Any suggestions ?

For the record, w/ uploadr 3.1 on a Mac OSX 10.4.11, trying to upload a MOV file of 1'20", 110 MB, I get the same problem that Mrs FireMom reports with wmv files and crios reports with avi files: yellow triangle with exclamation mark, and the file disappears when you click on it. I had previously gotten repeated Bonks trying to upload the same file with the web uploadr. Flickr staff, what gives?

I've been trying to upload 3.0.5 for days and it's stalled at 0% every single time. The cuteness of that bonk message and "huston we have a problem" is wearing very very thin now..
Even when I used the web form for uploading I've been having problems editing titles and tags, been kicked out and told to relog-in multiple times.
Frustrating or what! what is going on and when will it be fixed?

Since I'm a glutton for punishment I've tried downloading 3.1.0 yet again (this is the fourth time, twice on my laptop and twice on my desktop), and still find the upload stalls, but now at several different points: resizing, processing, or at 97% This happens on both computers so it's not a local problem. Also the uploadr's "Add to set" feature simply doesn't work. I add a photo to a set and the next time I look at the settings the set I'd chosen is gone. I add the photo to the same set three times, then go to the Flickr page where it's not in any set. Once again I'm going to be uninstalling the new uploadr and going back to the old version. Sigh.

I just installed the 3.1 version. No matter how I go about it, it hangs on startup, every time. I have tried reinstalling, rebooting and everything else I could think of. Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this? Guess I'll switch back to the old one for the time being.
I never had any problems with 2.3.1. I'm running OS X 10.4.11 on a 2,16 Ghz Macbook.

I'd just like to add to the ranks of dissatisfied _paying_ members. I have been trying for hours now to upload photos, both with this new version, the one on the tools page and the old 2.x version, not to mention the flash uploader.
Being a software developer myself, I'd be inclined to go over and kick whoever's been tinkering with the server/services software and rollback to an older version that actually works.

I'm seeing the same problem of 0% status when uploading a video. I do see the file being uploaded to flickr looking at my network status monitor, and if I wait long enough for the file to be uploaded, the uploadr program tells me the uploading is complete. The uploading is working, but upload status updates seems to be broken.

Add one more, the 3.0.5 and the 3.1 versions don't even allow me to sign in! I've been trying since Feb to sign in, thought it was because my membership had lapsed. Nope, signed up, paid for the service and I still can't use the uploadrs and cannot sign in to upload.
Please fix the problem and extend my service to one year past the date that Uploadr actually works!

HELLO??? Any status on a fix for this? With the previous uploadr version, the upload appeared to work but then got stuck on verification. Then only one photo would appear out of however many I'd upload, and the sets would not be created or added to.
Website uploads are freezing/not consistently working.
So installed the new version (I'm on a PC with XP) and it freezes uploading at 7%.
It would be nice to see someone address this issue. I'm paying for a service I can't use.

Tried to upload both photos and .AVI files via the uploadr. It uploaded one .jpg and tried to upload an .avi file. I got the msg.:
Bonk!
For some reason we were unable to process this video.
There may have been a temporary problem with our servers, or we may not be able to work with this video file.
.... etc ...
The uploadr then just stalled instead on continuing on with my batch. I believe an alert should have popped up or the uploadr should have continued on with the rest of my batch. It's extremely frustrating thinking your batch is being uploaded and then come to find out it stalled out on upload item #2...

Yes, there will be an updated version of Uploadr. When we have one ready to go we will post it. If you are having problems with the 3.1 version, we still have the previous version posted on our Tools page as well as the version before that.
@Mrs. FireMom: You can use Organizr to place files in bulk into sets also.
@ellen.in.wyoming: "don't even allow me to sign in"
If by chance you mean it's not sending you to the authorization screen, try this.
Note- you can upload in bulk through the Flash based upload page. You should have the latest version of Flash installed in your browser. If it's an older version...

@FlintZA- Problems uploading with any method usually indicates a network issue. Please check out this FAQ, so if you can, please do try some of those suggestions. :)

I just downloaded ver 3.1 thinking I could upload videos as the introduction to it said. NOT! It only finds "image" and "TIFF" files. Screwy as usual. Now I've found this thread and it tells me I need the new version which of course is 2 mb larger...not surprising. Then I scroll down this thread and see there are bugs....bugggs..bugs bunny....bonk bugs wrong with it 2 weeks after the post of the updated links to the new uploader.
Oh boy. Here goes another flickr rollrcoaster ride.

11 minute UPDATE: Well....it does indicate "photos and videos". Surprising use of terms in an explorer type window but it works so far. It also says I can start on "another batch" while the last one uploads. Sounds risky to me. Perhaps I'll go out and take some photographs or clean out the attic.

I can only seem to find out what happened here if I go to "Console". I read the code and it tells me that the uploader doesn't know the "length of the video". Huh? Gee how difficult is that when Windows Explorer and any media player I use can tell me that? Now I'm stuck with the web uploader. Thank you flickr staff for a total waste of time.
First I upload the early version which promises to upload videos and it doesn't, then I upload a later version and it stalls. You wonder why people are pissed off?
Keep this up and someone will replace you with chimpanzees. They'll probably do a much better job of it.

OK - the conversation I was TRYING to have with several people is now in a "closed-redirected" thread. Redirected to where?
Here . . .
And there is NOTHING here that addresses the issues I am having.
OK - one more time.
I used the link in this thread to download 3.1 (again - three TIMES again, actually) even though that is the link I used to get the one I had.
Now - - - NOTHING works, including the "right click" option to "send to Flickr" - - - despite my having tried three times to upload the same pictures (which requires me to go through over 700 pictures I took yesterday and today to choose the ones I want to upload) .
When the 3.1 uploader I HAD was actually working (before you guys insisted I use the link in this thread to download it again) it was posting a photo's description 11 and 12 times and scrambling my tags.
Now it won't accept a photo when I either right-click OR click on "add" in the uploader.
Are my Flickr days over?

Thank you for posting here. :) There's a reason why we like to get the feedback in one place so it's easier to keep track the problem. We are sorry for the frustration. :( We are working on an improved Uploadr, and we want it to work better.
In a pinch, we still have others ways to upload to Flickr: previous versions linked in our Tools page, and a Flash based upload page (I've sent several hundreds of MB of photos at a time through that page, too). If you are adding files to Uploadr, and nothing is going in there, and there are errors generated in the console (from the application menu Tools > Console), we wouldn't mind having a copy of it. If so, let me know and I will contact you off-forum. If you'd rather not, we understand, you can uninstall the version you have and revert to an earlier one still linked on the Tools page.

I have removed 3.1 completely and downloaded 3.0.5 again and installed it, and it is working - for the moment. I can't use any tags or descriptions and it won't send anything to a set, but it is, at least, uploading the photos.
I apologize for being frustrated and for letting it show, but I totally "lost it" when I found those 365 pictures with 11 and 12 "copies" of the description underneath them.
I'm frustrated, too, because I have 87,000 + photos and I had all but 190 or so of them geotagged, nothing that wasn't basically tagged, and less than 10 total photos that were not in sets.
Now everything is in chaos again and uploading ONE photo takes 30 minutes or more, start to finish. One of the main reasons I switched to Flickr from a couple of other services was the ease and speed with which "chores" could be done.
I wish I *could* send you an error code, but this stuff is happening without warning and without explanation, and, unfortunately, I just finished fixing the last of the three hundred plus photos from yesterday.
I might be able to show you a scrambled tag if that would help?

No apologies needed Clair. It would be interesting to see if you see a difference in upload speed through the main web interface (which requires Flash to be installed). We'll just try and duplicate the problem from your description. If you are still having problems with a bad tag, you'll be able to edit them in a batch from this link listing of all your tags (click the edit button next to the tag you want to edit).

Uploader 3.1 for mac plain refused to upload videos with a wmw extension.
I had to upload them with the upload page in which they went real fast

Thanks, Kevin
Just FYI, the problem with tags is an ongoing one. I cannot use the tagging feature in the uploader unless I wait until the batch is finished and then migrate to Flickr for "last minute polish". If I try to enter tags as I set up the upload (which would be really handy, by the way, if it worked), when the tags come out on the photo page, they are arbitrarily split and combined in strange ways that *I* never entered. There may be words from each of four or five tags or "phases in quotes" combined.
Before somebody comes back and "explains" how to tag for me, let me point out that I have 88,000 photos on Flickr *ALL* of which were tagged and tagged properly UNTIL I tried to use the Uploader. Now I have a huge mess with untagged photos, improperly tagged photos, Flickr-created-arbitrarily tagged photos, photos that didn't make it to the sets because the uploader "boinked" - photos with descriptions showing up 11 and 12 times . . . and a general mess of a previously- meticulous photostream.
Sorry, Kevin, but I'm still frustrated, and I'm NOT the only person this happens to . . . I hope you can get it fixed.

I had this happen last night. I use the Flickr webpage uploader. After the images uploaded, I used copy/paste from a .txt file to put 12 tags on the image from the batch tags box above the images.
When I finished, the image had two tags: about seven words in one tag, and approximately 5 words in the other tag.
At that point, I doublechecked the .txt file for stray quotation marks, etc. Finding none, I pasted the same string into the tags box on the photopage.
This time, the tags parsed correctly: words in quotes stayed together, words outside of quotes became separate tags.
Edit: Accidentally recreated the bug this morning when adding a new photo to my photostream, using the Flickr web uploader.

Here's the text string I entered
Dutch Holland Michigan "Tulip Time" festival 2008 "May 9-10, 2008" tulips heritage klompen dancing "wooden shoes"
I used the Batch Operations text box
I pasted that string
I clicked "Add"
The words were removed from the Batch Edit text box and appeared below the image in the "Tags" text box.
Here's what the text string looked like below the image
"Dutch Holland Michigan Tulip Time festival 2008 May 9-10" "2008 tulips heritage klompen dancing wooden shoes"
Something funny is going on with Flickr and the quotation marks.

I've been trying to upload a video for over an hour. It's a wmv, 70 seconds and 7.10MB.
I'm using Firefox as Browser and have tried ALL the Uploaders and nothing works, except the word Bonk.
*sigh* I can understand it failing a couple of times, but I've tried to upload this tiny video over a dozen times.
I give up.

@frogmuseum2- If you get the same result from the web upload method too, this may be a network hangup unrelated to the applications. :\
@ColleenM and Clair- thanks for the tagging problem feedback/examples.
@Claudecf- did you get an error message in the console? (Tools -> Console) I am betting you got this error
Error:
Source File: chrome://uploadr/content/threads.js
Line: 268

At the top of this thread are a bunch of links for the 3.1 version of the Flickr Uploadr.
There are several other ways to upload images to Flickr, all of them found when you use the Home menu at the top of your Flickr page.

Had another try at uploading a video with the mac uploader, and this is what I got this time, not in the console, as it looked like the uploading was working but in the final result
Bonk!
For some reason we were unable to process this video.
There may have been a temporary problem with our servers, or we may not be able to work with this video file.
(See a list of file formats we accept.)
You could try uploading the video again, later on.
I just uploaded the same video with the upload page and it worked fine.
