Yes try the following:

Go into the admin panel and enable log encoding in the video settings section.

Next delete any existant log files located in /cc-core/logs

Then try to upload one of the videos that always seems to produce this issue.

Wait a while (~ 30 minutes) and grab the newly created log files.

Post them here. (we prefer a link to the files rather then posting their content)

OK will try.
Tech guy just told me the permissions were not all 777 as per on the install guide - might this be the issue?

No, I doubt it since some of the videos are able to be uploaded normally.

Does this make any sense?

Updating video information...
Unable to select database

Here's what my server people say after trying to fix this:

This is a very strange problem, because like I said the videos are being recognized by the software in the Video Categories section. So it seems like a very specific issue that is preventing it from displaying these videos in the Browse Videos or on the Front page of the site. I haven't been able to find anything relevant on this in the discussion forums at http://cumulusclips.org/. Everything related doesn't seem to fix the issue, or things are already setup as they should be.
The situation now, is the software seems to operate as it should. It processes videos, and they are located in the correct directories. They seem to have the same permissions, ownership, and properties of videos that are being displayed. There are no errors in the Apache error log, or the MySQL error log. There are also no errors generated by PHP. While there have been some errors in the Cumulus Clips logs, all of the files that I've uploaded have not had any errors. The number of videos present is displayed in the Video Categories section, but the videos aren't being displayed on the front page, or when browsing the videos. They are also not listed in Pending Videos.
So unfortunately, there's no way for me to trace this down to a specific problem. There is nothing for me to go on except for the code of the software, and I am not familiar enough with it to troubleshoot.

Damian are you contactable off the forums (ie. not in public)?
Thank you

And here's the log file for a clip I just tried to upload. It is on the server, but not appearing on the site/

'Unable to select database' is a MySQL connect timeout issue.

In any case I know what the problem is and we're implementing a fix in our next release.

Someone else had the same issue the other day. We're creating a patch in the meantime but it's slightly behind schedule.

So the connect timeout issue thing should fix it?

THanks

Update on this.

The server guys raised the MySQL timeout setting from 5 seconds to 120 seconds.
Some videos that were not ok yesterday are not appearing when I tried again.
BUT, some still aren't.
Very strange!

Any idea when that patch might be ready Damian?
Thanks for all the work.

OK update.
We have effectively fixed this by increasing the time out value to a much larger one.
That seemed to be the issue.
