@simon Does video work? I tried both Gemini pro and flash, but I only got some error message. Do I need a paid account to use video scraping? (Image works as expected.)

@xsc video should work, what file format were you trying? Currently needs to be less than 20MB - that's a temporary limitation of my llm-gemini plugin

@simon I was using an MP4 of 5 mb size. The error just says "internal error" I downloaded the video from here pexels.com/video/catching-and-

@xsc I've seen a few of those "Internal error" messages too - I think it's Gemini being a little bit flaky, sometimes resubmitting works fine the second time

@simon I was using the following command

> llm 'please explain what is happening in the video' -a man-in-water.mp4 -m gemini-1.5-flash-latest

Does it look like it should work?

Simon Willison

@xsc yes, if you have the llm-gemini plugin installed and configured with an API key

You could try using this script here (or using Google's AI Studio tool) ti check it's not an LLM bug: til.simonwillison.net/llms/pro
