SoftTimeLimitExceeded Error

The process of downloading the video (from the origin), and uploading it to YouTube must finish within 180 seconds (3 minutes), otherwise, our system will cancel the process.
We suggest compressing your video in order for it to be uploaded properly.

This publishing error is a result of the video title (or video description) that contains character(s) that aren't allowed by YouTube.

Please note YouTube allows all UTF-8 characters, except angled brackets (><).

Modify your video title/description accordingly.

Yeah I tried it worked but I need to identify which file is that so I skipped the step......Will that affects? I would ensure that the video file doesn't contain any (<>) brackets. And now it's saying a error Problem updating Node: Failed to fetch url='/api/v3/nodes/101414858'

 

Any help regarding this???
