I upload videos with a code like this:

$ch = curl_init("http://heywatch.com/upload");
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS,
    array(    'data'=>"@$uploadfile",
            'key'=>'xxxxxx',,
            'your_site_user_id'=>'xx',
            'post_id'=>'xxx'));
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);
$postResult = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

The file is uploadet to Heywatch. However, I can’t get it to encode automatically although this is enabled in the options-page (username: sermitsiaq).

If you do the same thing on the site directly, ie upload a video via the upload form, is the encode starting?

Yes, it works perfectly when uploaded through the upload form.

In that case, there is something wrong with your request. What is your code exactly? Is there another parameter you didn’t mentioned above?

This is weird. I tried to include a custom parameter like:

‘message’=>‘Whatever…..’,

I removed that and now it works.

Ah, f… – I think it’s because I didn’t urlencode the value. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Glad it works now.
