Upload a video to Youtube using Java

Question

I am trying to upload a video to YouTube using the YouTube API. While running tests using unchanged code the following exception was thrown:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Cannot call getProgress() if the specified AbstractInputStreamContent has no content length. Use  getNumBytesUploaded() to denote progress instead.

at com.google.api.services.samples.youtube.cmdline.UploadVideo.main(UploadVideo.java:165)

Any idea why and how may I fix it?

Have you tried getNumBytesUploaded() instead of getProgress()? — dguay

Replace getProgress() to getNumBytesUploaded()

  System.out.println("Upload percentage: " + uploader.getNumBytesUploaded());

It Works you can upload large video.

To get the progress using the getProgress() method, the API must be aware of the size of the file you are trying to upload, which you can set using inputStreamContent.setLength(file.getSize()).

Or you can simply use getNumBytesUploaded() as suggested.
