Uploading "progress" with the Media API ?

Hi!

 

Is there any possibility of having a "upload progress" while using the createMedia function from the PHP SDK?

 

Normally one would achieve this by calculating the file size or by having something in the server giving back information but I'm wondering if this is possible at all with Brightcove.

 

Any insights are appreaciated. Thanks!

Just noticed the get_upload_status from the Media API.

 

I was hoping it would return uploading status too:

   You're right get_upload_status will tell you information about where in the process the upload is after the video has been already sent to the Brightcove system. So yes, you need to use traditional methods to know the status of the video upload while it is being transfered.

Looking to do the same thing, however I am not having much luck.  How did you go about getting upload progress? Will post back if i get this figured out on my own.
