I'm using the Youtube-data-API to upload videos on my youtube channel, I've modified the chunk size to 3750000, hoping for faster uploads since I have a reliable interenet connection.I use the python sample code provided and converted it to python 3 using the help of a youtube video.
Code I used -

I go on my creator studio page and its stuck at uploaded 0%. This happens for longer videos ( around 5-6hrs ), the short ones ( Around 1.5hrs ) are uploaded properly.
