Video uploader is inconsistent if you change the image filename in the text box #15

It appears that if I change the filename for the image in the text box manually (meaning, edit the filename directly), it will use this text for the video uploads, but it will use the originally discovered file for everything else (podcast upload, etc.).

I haven't tried clicking "Select" to re-select the file I want, but if I know I have both a png and a jpg and I want to use the jpg (because the png is over 2MB and Brighteon is unhappy with that), I really should be able to enter that new filename and have it persist for everything.

The workaround if you find yourself in this situation is to upload both assets to the CDN (because the podcast will get saved with png as well).

When i first wrote the code Stef told me that 100% of the time that any jpg/png image that is in the project directory is the thumbnail, and there will always be just 1 image, so i never wrote any code to save any changes to that filepath between restarts of the script. What I think happened to you was you made the change, ran the upload, there was maybe a site that failed so you did a reload, and at this point the script looped through all the files in the directory and the first jpg/png file it landed it it selected as the thumbnail and then stopped the loop.

I will have the script save the filepath to the project setting .ini to fix this

Ah, well, see, that may have been true for Stef... it's not true for me, but then I didn't realize this was an expectation 😅
