[Python] Google GenerativeAI unable to load video files

I was building a small Flask app with HTML templates where a user could upload a video and I would use an LLM to describe the video.

I receive the file URL through an HTML form, which I then save to a local folder.

file_url = request.form[f'media-url-{i}']
extension = file_url.split('?')[0].split('.')[-1]
filename = str(uuid.uuid4()) + '.' + extension
file_path = os.path.join(os.environ['TMP_DIR'], filename)


The file works successfully with the image/video being saved.

I then try to use the LLM as such:

genai.configure(api_key=os.environ["GEMINI_API_KEY"])
model = genai.GenerativeModel('gemini-1.5-flash')

gen_file = genai.upload_file(path=file_path)
response = model.generate_content([llm_prompt, gen_file).text


This seems to work pretty well with image files.

When I upload videos, this doesn't work on my Flask app (although the mechanism works when I test on a Jupyter notebook).

This is the error I get:

Would you guys have any idea?

Thanks!
