Recent change seems to have broken /plugin/MobileManager/upload.php

[walt93]

Describe the bug
We have scripts which depend on /plugin/MobileManager/upload.php

The contract for upload.php is broken. Formerly, after an upload, it would return a response with a key videos_id which contained the id of the video which was just uploaded. Our scripts depend on this videos_id for post-processing the upload.

Now when we call the endpoint, the response is empty, causing multiple downstream failures.

To Reproduce

1. Run the same script we've run for the last six months to upload videos.
2. Observe that the script fails

Log output. 1. Call the endpoint. 2. Log the response. 3. Try to decode the response and get an exception.

Uploading the video file to conspyre
response =
* An unexpected error occurred: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

Expected behavior
The script to continue to hold up its side of the API contract, and to return the expected data, or an error. No error and empty response is a new and unexpected condition.

Hi

this error does not make sense to me. I am not even sure if it is a PHP error.

please check the AVideo log

Daniel this error is returned from the endpoint. The error reporting is from the Python script calling it.

Why is the script returning no response? We expect it to return the id of the video which was uploaded.
