Right now I'm trying to figure out what i'm doing wrong when making transition of my YT broadcast to live.
So I make the request and get the following response:
{
"code" : 403,
"errors" : [ {
"domain" : "youtube.liveBroadcast",
"message" : "Invalid transition",
"reason" : "invalidTransition",
"extendedHelp" : "https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/live/docs/liveBroadcasts/transition#params"
} ],
"message" : "Invalid transition"
}
Of course i've read docs many times so I've monitored the LiveStream and was waiting for its "active" state (and my Broadcast has lifeCycleStatus="ready").
Error message doesn't explain real reason why cannot I do the transition.
And... of course I do not have access to logs of Youtube servers :)
What can you suggest?
How to find out where am I wrong?
So even if i've missed something, docs and error message do not help me to understand anything. So anyway it is kind of a "bug" for YT LiveStreaming API...
So a bit unclear rule is:
COMPLETE
,
otherwise recreate broadcast
... so ensure that your broadcast lifecycle status is ready
active
testing
(yes, you have to do it instead of moving to live
)lifeCycleStatus
to become testing
live
lifeCycleStatus
to become live
You cannot skip testing
and cannot transition from complete
to testing
or ready
.
