Description

It was originally reported in 4635051-zd-woothemes that the app showed timeout errors when the user was trying to upload a larger video. The user found out the video was uploaded successfully in WP Admin.

One of the possible solutions proposed is to change the session used for XML-RPC to have a higher timeout value to accommodate for sites that take a longer time to process a video upload.

For more context, please check out the internal discussions: p4a5px-2Nm-p2

Research direction

Start with the app's XML-RPC media upload session and review the internal discussion p4a5px-2Nm-p2 for the proposed timeout change. Confirm the behavior against a larger video upload: the app should wait long enough for processing and report success when the upload completed in WP Admin.
