Android MIT App Inventor: Sharing a video from the camcorder to Youtube

I have built the following blocks, as seen in the attached Picture.jpg file. After the camcorder finishes the video recording, the following error message appears:

Error 2001: The File file://content://media/external/video/media/17906 could not be found on your device.

A screenshot of the error message is attached herein (Picture.jpg).

Is there any solution for this problem? How can a recorded camcorder video be shared to Youtube via an App Inventor application?

Solution

  • You can use my File extension and its GetFileName block

    enter image description here

    to first convert the content uri into a filename before sharing it.
