Gregory, really appreciate the response! Just double checked and yes, this account is the same one that is authenticated, has no other activity (never uploaded any other files, never shared anything), and is currently banned. With the video no bigger than 1.7gb, I can't see how it wouldn't even complete a stream before banning the account. That's well under the cap. Any idea what's going on here?

Really, really appreciate your help!
