Hey !
It’s me again ^^ I’m trying to write a script to upload entire folders to peertube, generating playlist and tags automatically. But I’m stuck with the tags.
I get a error saying the value of my tags is invalid.
The doc explain the variable “tags” is a array of strings. So i declare it as an array with genre=(genre1 genre2). But I get a error.
Here is my code :
## DEPENDENCIES: httpie, jq
# pip install httpie
USERNAME="user"
PASSWORD="psswd"
CHANNEL_ID="2"
API_PATH="https://peertube.exemple/api/v1"
## AUTH
client_id=$(http -b GET "$API_PATH/oauth-clients/local" | jq -r ".client_id")
client_secret=$(http -b GET "$API_PATH/oauth-clients/local" | jq -r ".client_secret")
token=$(http -b --form POST "$API_PATH/users/token" \
client_id="$client_id" client_secret="$client_secret" grant_type=password response_type=code \
username=$USERNAME \
password=$PASSWORD \
| jq -r ".access_token")
echo "token is : $token"
#if [ -z "$token"]
#then
# echo "auth fail"
# exit 1
#else
echo "Authentification ok :D"
##Playlist
FOLDER_PATH="/mnt/test/"
SAVEIFS=$IFS
IFS=$(echo -en "\n\b")
cd $FOLDER_PATH
SON=$(find . -type f -name '*.mp3' )
# LOOP
echo "starting loop"
for file in $SON
do
filename="${file##*/}"
filename="${filename%.*}"
echo "this is the filename : "$filename" "
echo "file path = $file"
file="${file:2}"
echo "file without ./ : $file"
file="$FOLDER_PATH$file"
echo "file path is now $file"
echo "this is the file with is path : $file"
genre=$(id3v2 -l "$file" | sed -n '/^TCON/s/^.*: //p' | sed 's/ (.*//')
if [ -z "$genre" ]
then
genre=("notag" "nono")
fi
echo "this is the genre 1 : ${genre[0]}"
echo "array 2 is : ${genre[1]}"
FILE_PATH="$file"
NAME="$filename"
echo "this is name $NAME"
## VIDEO UPLOAD
echo "Uploading "$filename""
http -b --form --timeout 6000 POST "$API_PATH/videos/upload" \
videofile@"$FILE_PATH" \
channelId=$CHANNEL_ID \
name="$NAME" \
category=1 \
privacy=1 \
tags=$genre \
commentsEnabled=true \
"Authorization:Bearer $token" \
IFS=$SAVEIFS
done
And here is the error message :
"errors": {
"tags": {
"location": "body",
"msg": "Should have correct tags",
"param": "tags",
"value": "notag"
thx ! 
Hello,
As I read in the documentation, tags should be set with an array of strings.
I read HTTPie documentation to find how to pass such value but I failed having precise response. So, I guess you might use something like this:
tags:='["notag", "atag"]'
thx for your help
The api still give an error :s
{
"errors": {
"tags": {
"location": "body",
"msg": "Should have correct tags",
"param": "tags",
"value": "[\"notag\", \"tag\"]"
}
}
}
oups, I forget the :. With it I we have :
Traceback (most recent call last):

http command might contain something like : tags:='["notag", "tag"]' \
Remark single quotes, double quote and :=.
It think you should make sure the variable genre is initialized with each tag’s name enclosed with double quotes and seperated by comma (except last one).
For example: genre=\"notag\",\ \"tag\"
And insert this variable’s value in the http command via tags:='['$genre']' \
Regard the single quotes position; they are important.
I don’t understand your solution but I tried it.
With tags:='[notag, tag]' \ I get a http: error: "tags:=[notag, tag]": Expecting value: line 1 column 2 (char 1)
With genre=\"notag\",\ \"tag\" and tags:='['$genre']' \ I get a http: error: argument REQUEST_ITEM: ""tag"]" is not a valid value
You should have tags:='["notag", "tag"]' in your resulting http command
Try this in your script:
genre=$(id3v2 -l "$file" | sed -n '/^TCON/s/^.*: //p' | sed 's/ (.*//')
genre=\'[$( echo $genre | sed '/ /, /' )]\'
if [ -z "$genre" ]
then
genre=\'[\"notag\",\ \"nono\"]\'
fi
echo "this is the genre 1 : ${genre[0]}"
echo "array 2 is : ${genre[1]}"
tags:=$genre \
I tested without the loop (with genre=\'[\"notag\",\ \"nono\"]\') and I have the same result : http: error: argument REQUEST_ITEM: ""nono"]'" is not a valid value
Try
genre=\'[\"notag\",\"nono\"]\'
instead
Sorry for the test and try, I did not have the application installed (indeed I installed it today to help you further) and I’m not used to handle it. I try what I told you here and there’s no http: error: message.
thx you a loooot o/
At home I have : http: error: "tags:='["notag","nono"]'": Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)
I re-opens it because I’m stil stuck
When i use genre=\{\"$genre1\"": 0, "\"$genre2\"": 1 "\}
It upload
But when i use genre={\"$genre0\"": 0 "}
I have :
{
"errors": {
"tags": {
"location": "body",
"msg": "Should have correct tags",
"param": "tags",
"value": "Music"
}
}
}
what the ? ^^
Ok so here is the script. It’s very ugly but I’m not a programmer at all ^^
I created Defaults tag so I don’t have to bother with the tag issues…

For those who want to do similar thing, you could juste use this tools instead of the API jaja
