Invalid size error about archive HOT 3 CLOSED

This was mentioned in the Discord as well:

w.r.t. batches being rejected: the issue is likely annotations which disappear after a set amount of time, so "x user is livestreaming right now" can end up changing the size of the batch significantly if it contains multiple videos from the same channel

You can look at these two pastes side-by-side to see an example:

• https://cadence.gq/pastes/102
• https://cadence.gq/pastes/103

The first one has a "teaser_text": "Litoral TV is live now!"annotation that bumps the size of the single file significantly, multiplied by several videos by the same channel with the same additional annotation, can cause the batch to fail.

I plan on updating the server to accept batches in a wider range, so the one you submitted will be accepted. You may also need to clear the config.json (or remove .worker_info if you're using the Crystal worker) to get a new worker_id.

Just pushed a fix so workers will be able to submit a new version if they're well trusted
This is in addition to the current batch, anything that has already been archived will not be overridden

So big changes in file sizes can be accepted. 44ddb17 allows new versions to be uploaded, which I think closes this issue.

The problem with that is that workers have to build reputation first. Otherwise, they get stuck on an infinite loop of invalid size errors without being assigned a new batch and become useless. This has happened to mine (batch fe9e101b-1040-4147-b592-bdc2fb8cfef2,
here's the batch.json.gz if that helps).
I did make a new worker, but I'd rather not have to personally.
