In each validation error
, the messageCode
and message
properties identify an error or warning in the file being validated. This document contains a list of issues that cause validation issues. This information is intended to help you identify, diagnose, and resolve issues affecting files you plan to ingest to YouTube.
Configuration Issues
The table below lists issues that the validator identifies. The numeric ID uniquely identifies the validator error and corresponds to the messageCode
property in the validation error. The table also shows a description of the error and a sample error message. The sample message corresponds to the validation error's message
property.
Some descriptions contain variables that are populated to reflect data about your actual file. For example, error code 50
indicates that the provided file does not follow the XML schema and has a particular error at a particular line and column number. The sample error message says, "Failed schema validation on line "10, column 5, with error: Unknown element." However, the line number, column number, and error are all based on the content of the file you are validating.
