Describe the problem/error/question
The new gemini node for video analysis seems to fail pretty much at random with the same url.
The exact error is " The file failed to be processed.
Error uploading file"
And the stack trace is: "
NodeOperationError: The file failed to be processed. at ExecuteContext.uploadFile (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/@n8n+n8n-nodes-langchain@file+packages+@n8n+nodes-langchain_c7791fa0cf1054f8be91f739b153c14e/node_modules/@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain/nodes/vendors/GoogleGemini/helpers/utils.ts:74:9) at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:105:5) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/@n8n+n8n-nodes-langchain@file+packages+@n8n+nodes-langchain_c7791fa0cf1054f8be91f739b153c14e/node_modules/@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain/nodes/vendors/GoogleGemini/helpers/baseAnalyze.ts:38:13 at async Promise.all (index 0) at ExecuteContext.baseAnalyze (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/@n8n+n8n-nodes-langchain@file+packages+@n8n+nodes-langchain_c7791fa0cf1054f8be91f739b153c14e/node_modules/@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain/nodes/vendors/GoogleGemini/helpers/baseAnalyze.ts:42:21) at ExecuteContext.execute (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/@n8n+n8n-nodes-langchain@file+packages+@n8n+nodes-langchain_c7791fa0cf1054f8be91f739b153c14e/node_modules/@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain/nodes/vendors/GoogleGemini/actions/video/analyze.operation.ts:101:9) at ExecuteContext.router (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/@n8n+n8n-nodes-langchain@file+packages+@n8n+nodes-langchain_c7791fa0cf1054f8be91f739b153c14e/node_modules/@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain/nodes/vendors/GoogleGemini/actions/router.ts:52:25) at ExecuteContext.execute (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/@n8n+n8n-nodes-langchain@file+packages+@n8n+nodes-langchain_c7791fa0cf1054f8be91f739b153c14e/node_modules/@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain/nodes/vendors/GoogleGemini/GoogleGemini.node.ts:15:10) at WorkflowExecute.runNode (/usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/n8n-core@file+packages+core_@[email protected]_@[email protected]_46e522f8a77ed5eccc0991bfcca21502/node_modules/n8n-core/src/execution-engine/workflow-execute.ts:1211:9) at /usr/local/lib/node_modules/n8n/node_modules/.pnpm/n8n-core@file+packages+core_@[email protected]_@[email protected]_46e522f8a77ed5eccc0991bfcca21502/node_modules/n8n-core/src/execution-engine/workflow-execute.ts:1581:27
