If so, likely what happened to you is that there is a new version of Adobe Air that was just released. We've had a few people mention to us that it stopped working, and it has been because they did not have an up-to-date version of Air on their machine.

So if you are having issues where the uploader cancels after a few minutes of successful uploading try updating Adobe Air. Get the latest version here - http://get.adobe.com/air/.

Please use this thread to report any issues!

whats NS desktop uploader?

however, i have had alot of issues with NS on a mac, but i believe its safari and not the computer, since it seems to work perfectly in chrome and firefox.

the NS desktop uploader is a system used to upload things "such as videos in my case" which are bigger than 800 megs or for people who have slow or inconsistent internet connections.

 this is what it looks like, to run this program you need to download adobe air. (Adobe AIR is a cross-operating system runtime that enables web developers to use their existing web development skills, code and tools to build and deploy rich web applications and content to the desktop. Adobe AIR has a rich set of features, with support for building applications using HTML, JavaScript, Flex and Flash.)
basically as far as i think i know its sort of like a safety net when uploading files (whether big or small) but for me it says i have successfully uploaded but yet it shows up no where on my media.

I have an issue with it on pc.

I've tried twice to upload my edit. it takes literally about 10 hours, then when the upload is complete, it won't show up in My Media or my videos. when I try to re-upload it, it gets to 100% in about a second and still doesnt show up in my media.

i've tried it with mp4 and wmv. any help?

Working on it. I've reported the issue and sent it over to Paul. He'll take a look and see what he can figure out!

Yeah you gotta be running the latest version. Apple changed something that horribly broke Air on Mac, and until Adobe fixed it things were bad. We updated the app too, so anyone with a much older version it would not work.

Update Air, update the app and it should run pretty smooth.
