My script, on detecting that a video has successfully uploaded to BitChute, clicks the Finish button to publish the video.
NOTE: I updated the script shown in the video to "fully" implement the "code defensively" ideal I espoused (will also now abort if it doesn't initially find the "Finish" button).
To create a bookmark for the script (known as a bookmarklet) in Chrome, do the following (can probably do equivalent in other browsers):
1. Click the "Bookmark this tab" ⭐ icon.
2. Click the "More" button.
4. Change the URL (address) to: javascript:bitChuteUploadFileNameDivId="upload_file_name";bitChuteVideosRoot="videos/";bitChuteFinishButtonId="finish-button";checkUploadedIntervalTime=5000;function AutoFinishUpload(){var fileName;if(!(fileName=uploadFileNameDiv.innerText))return;clearInterval(autoFinishIntervalId);if(fileName.startsWith(bitChuteVideosRoot))finishButton.click();else alert("Error uploading video?")}function GetHtmlElement(elementId,elementDesc){var element=document.getElementById(elementId);if(!element)alert("%2 with id \"%1\" not found! Technical support available.".replace("%2",elementDesc).replace("%1",elementId));return element;}if((uploadFileNameDiv=GetHtmlElement(bitChuteUploadFileNameDivId,"HTML DIV element"))){if((finishButton=GetHtmlElement(bitChuteFinishButtonId,"Finish button")))autoFinishIntervalId=setInterval(AutoFinishUpload,checkUploadedIntervalTime);}
4. Click the Save button.
To use the bookmarklet, after you've completed all the other BitChute Upload fields (Title, Description, and Cover), simply select it from your list of bookmarks, and then select the Upload video as normal. You do not need to leave the Upload tab in the foreground (just don't close it), and can switch to a differet tab, or even different application.
