Can you explain the Vid.ly Message Codes?

Let's take a look at typical XML repsonse to fully understand Vid.ly Message Codes. In this example, line 4 contains the MessageCode 2.1. Let's skip to the chart below the XML to read more about the types of MessageCodes exist.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Response>
    <Message>All medias have been added.</Message>
    <MessageCode>2.1</MessageCode>
    <BatchID>[unique_id]</BatchID>
    <Success>
        <MediaShortLink>
            <SourceFile>[SourceFile1]</SourceFile>
            <ShortLink>[Vid.ly_shortlink1]</ShortLink>
        </MediaShortLink>
        <MediaShortLink>
            <SourceFile>[SourceFile2]</SourceFile>
            <ShortLink>[Vid.ly_shortlink2]</ShortLink>
        </MediaShortLink>
    </Success>
<Response>

The XML response statuses codes are broken down into 4 categories, Common Errors (I), AddMedia codes (II), DeleteMedia codes (III) and GetStatus codes (IV). In the case of the above XML, the MessageCode 2.1 is definately a good one to receive back from the system. Keep an eye on these codes as they can give particular insight into why your Vid.lys fail or your XMLs are not accepted.
