YouTube Upload Error? Bad Value?

April 30, 2011 by Ian Brown No Comments

Did you get a “bad value” error while uploading a video to YouTube? Want to know what the deal is? It’s simply that there is a symbol in the description of your video that you typed that YouTube doesn’t like.

The one that gave me the error was the “>” symbol. So if you used “>” or “< " in the desription of your video, then that's your problem. Simply delete it and then save your changes. If that was not what you used, then look for other symbols in your description. Just try deleting each one, one by one, saving it after you delete each one so you know which one is causing the issue. If there are other characters that you used in your description that caused this error and you know what it is, then please post it in the comments below so others can benefit. Thanks!
