Hello,

When I try to export videos (MP4, MOV and AVI files) 95% of these videos are not available in google photos: they are in state still processing.
Google photos support say that it can take up to 8 hours to process videos, but even if I wait for one day, they are still in state "still processing".

If I upload in google photos these videos from the google photos upload form, they are available.

To reproduce:
- browse in digikam the directory tree.
- filter directory tree to "Videos files".
- select all videos files listed
- click on them to validate they are readable > the file is playing
- select all videos files listed
- click on the export to google photos menu item 
- log in to your google account > google account is listed in google account field
- select no folder in the folder destination
- click on resize photo
- select JPG quality: 72
- maximum dimensions: 2048
- Tag path behaviour: split tags
- click start upload > after some time, all videos have disappeared from the list on the left panel
- go to your google photos account with your favorite browser
- videos are listed, but the are marked as "still processing"

Gilles,

I have just tested uploading videos to my account and it worked without errors. However, those should be exported to an album created on Google Photos by digiKam, or to main page of user account (not belonging to any albums), otherwise it won't work. 

Thanh.
