Hi Alex1347,

Hm..🤔 If you can upload video file correct... what's wrong then. Did you make it sure? 🧐

That what I understand "upload correct" is when comparing original source file (actual file type doesn't matter) and the uploaded mirror, byte by byte to be the same. Did you check this?

If you can clarify what's the reason for something not to work (i.e. what's wrong together with problem confirming), you have almost found the "specific reason of error" out. It's almost the same - you're just one step away. 😉 Don't be lazy; do it if you want of course. 🤫 If you want, you may share some code snippet that reproduces the problem while running standalone - something that may be commented on.

Good luck.
