MEDIA/UPLOAD-STATUS "media parameter is missing."

[dreinstein10]

Hi, I've been trying to post a video using the media_upload function but when I try to get the STATUS of the media_id I get the following error:
[code] => 38 , [message] => media parameter is missing.

I need to use the STATUS because if I try to FINALIZE the media I get a 'processing_info' in the reply saying the media status is 'pending', so I need to check the status until the status is 'succeeded'.

Does anybody else get this error?

Here's my code:

`$size_bytes = filesize($file);
$fp = fopen($file, 'r');

// INIT the upload
$reply = $cb->media_upload([
'command' => 'INIT',
'media_type' => 'video/mp4',
'media_category' => 'tweet_video',
'total_bytes' => $size_bytes
]);
$media_id = $reply->media_id_string;

// APPEND data to the upload
$segment_id = 0;
while (! feof($fp)) {
$chunk = fread($fp, 1048576); // 1MB per chunk for this sample
$reply = $cb->media_upload([
'command' => 'APPEND',
'media_id' => $media_id,
'segment_index' => $segment_id,
'media' => $chunk
]);
$segment_id++;
}
fclose($fp);

do{
sleep(10);
$status_reply = $cb->media_upload(['command' => 'STATUS',
'media_id'=> $media_id //media id from INIT
]);
var_dump($status_reply );
}while($status_reply->processing_info->state != 'failed' && $status_reply->processing_info->state != 'succeeded');

// FINALIZE the upload
$reply = $cb->media_upload([
'command' => 'FINALIZE',
'media_id' => $media_id
]);
var_dump($reply);
if ($reply->httpstatus < 200 || $reply->httpstatus > 299) {
die();
}

// Now use the media_id in a Tweet
$reply = $cb->statuses_update([
'status' => 'Twitter now accepts video uploads.',
'media_ids' => $media_id
]);`

Anyone found a solution?

I can't figure it out either, different language.

This works:

https://github.com/xdevplatform/large-video-upload-python/blob/b127c43d6b30663455dc1ee604b7ee042cc00b73/async-upload.py#L145

This doesn't:

https://github.com/toddfries/xapi/blob/master/xposts#L1267

chunk_check_status: state=pending, check_after_secs=1: media parameter is missing. at /usr/local/libdata/perl5/site_perl/X/API.pm line 367
(the X/API.pm just throws an error based on the http error)

Looking at the source in this repo helped me fix the problem. Here's the fix in my code:
