[Wikitech-l] Bot upload of files over 100MB

2013-06-25 Thread Daniel Mietchen
Hi, my bot[1] occasionally stumbles upon files that are above 100MB and thus does not upload them[2]. What do I have to do to get it set up for handling these files too? Thanks for any pointers, Daniel [1] http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Open_Access_Media_Importer_Bot [2]

Right now the wiki is setup to only allow up to 100 MB files. The only way I see to upload a file greater than that is to file a bugzilla request and a system administrator with shell access can manually upload it using a script. Techmn224 On 2013-06-25, at 4:43 PM, Daniel Mietchen

I would assume given the previous reply that regardless of upload method, chunked or otherwise, there is still the hard limit of how big the resultant file can be. On Tue, Jun 25, 2013 at 5:49 PM, Jeremy Baron jer...@tuxmachine.com wrote: On Jun 25, 2013 5:44 PM, Daniel Mietchen

With the https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Chunked_uploads enabled, users can currently upload files up to 500MB, when using a supported browser (e.g. a current Firefox or Chrome). I think Daniel's question was about how to make this method work for a bot too, i.e. via the API rather

When browsing through commons, I happened to stumble upon https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:Smallman12q/PyCJWiki which appears to be a python bot that uses chunked uploading, and thus work with files up to 500 mb big. Perhaps it would be helpful to you. --bawolff On 6/25/13, Tilman Bayer
