Topic: The new YouTube Uploader action fails

Hello,
The new YouTube Uploader action fails to upload videos to youtube, can I get the older one which had worked fine?
I have mid-2012 MBP with MacOS 10.12.6 installed. I tried to reinstall and re-register the new YouTube Uploader, with no avail.
Here's what the debug console says every time I'm trying to upload a video:

[Launching task with command line: runner.rb task-54961]

Re: The new YouTube Uploader action fails

I wish I at least had the possibility to download the older youtube upload action but there's none to be found

Re: The new YouTube Uploader action fails

From my own testing this is a bug in the YT uploader action that chokes on mp4 files (that is, the files consisting of filenames with .mp4 extension appended). I got around with it by converting it to a QuickTime movie with .mov extension. It's certainly needs to be fixed.

Re: The new YouTube Uploader action fails

Now it won't even accept the youtube registration. This action seems abandoned. It's not getting updated for quite a while and there's no possibility to download the older version of this action that actually worked. It's a shame since the DropZone has been a very useful app.

Re: The new YouTube Uploader action fails

It appears that this action accepts only small files. I successfully uploaded 10-20 MB files but that's not enough.
