The guys at Youtube ran some maintenance on the website today but it seems that they messed up a few things:

1) If you try to upload a video larger than 100MB you normally get a javascript pop-up message saying for example “The video file cannot be bigger than 100megs.”

Well here’s what pops up now:

UPLOAD_LIMIT represents the max size of the file that can be uploaded.

2) When i used used the Multi-video Uploader even though i had the Youtube Uploader installed it gave me the error message: “Youtube video uploader is not running - you will be redirected to upload page” on this i said to myself WTF? and i rechecked that is it installed, and yep it is installed.

I pressed the OK button and it threw me to upload page where i got the popup message “Uploader successfully installed - redirecting to upload page” and by this way it kept throwing me from upload page to installer page.

I reported the bugs at youtube and most probably they will be fixed shortly :)

    Great find. I am glad you know how to report bugs. I just wanted to say these errors mean youtube has some lazy programmers/qa testers. Since it is free, what can you do?

    I got the same error and after being redirected back and forth 20 times i just installed the uploader again without uninstalling the 1st instance of it and it has been working fine since.

    Sorry scratch my previous post. I was able to upload a video somehow so that is why i thought it was working but it seems to be broken once more. I’ve reported it as a bug as well so hopefully they will look into it.
