Bluesky video upload - indirect upload. Sad path where you upload directly to your PDS. Takes a sec to process after posting.

import { AppBskyEmbedVideo, AtpAgent } from "npm:@atproto/api";

const userAgent = new AtpAgent({
  service: prompt("Service URL (default: https://bsky.social):") ||
    "https://bsky.social",
});

await userAgent.login({
  identifier: prompt("Handle:")!,
  password: prompt("Password:")!,
});

console.log(`Logged in as ${userAgent.session?.handle}`);

const videoPath = prompt("Video file (.mp4):")!;

const file = await Deno.open(videoPath);
const { size } = await file.stat();

// optional: print upload progress
let bytesUploaded = 0;
const progressTrackingStream = new TransformStream({
  transform(chunk, controller) {
    controller.enqueue(chunk);
    bytesUploaded += chunk.byteLength;
    console.log(
      "upload progress:",
      Math.trunc(bytesUploaded / size * 100) + "%",
    );
  },
  flush() {
    console.log("upload complete ✨");
  },
});

const { data } = await userAgent.com.atproto.repo.uploadBlob(
  // @ts-expect-error - expecting an Uint8Array, but a ReadableStream is fine
  file.readable.pipeThrough(progressTrackingStream),
);

console.log("video uploaded, posting...");

await userAgent.post({
  text: "This post should have a video attached",
  langs: ["en"],
  embed: {
    $type: "app.bsky.embed.video",
    video: data.blob,
    aspectRatio: await getAspectRatio(videoPath),
  } satisfies AppBskyEmbedVideo.Main,
});

console.log("done ✨ (video will take a little bit to process)");

// bonus: get aspect ratio using ffprobe
// in the browser, you can just put the video uri in a <video> element
// and measure the dimensions once it loads. in React Native, the image picker
// will give you the dimensions directly

import { ffprobe } from "https://deno.land/x/[email protected]/ffprobe.ts";

  const { streams } = await ffprobe(fileName, {});
  const videoSteam = streams.find((stream) => stream.codec_type === "video");
  return {
    width: videoSteam.width,
    height: videoSteam.height,
