Trouble uploading videos from iOS using WordPress REST api - wordpress

Question

I am very new at this, so sorry if I have missed something.
I am trying to upload a video from iOS to WordPress using the WP REST API and Alamofire.
Some videos will upload just fine while other videos get a rest_upload_no_content_disposition status = 400 error.
Here is my code to uploading a video
class func pageVideo(accessToken:String, filePath:NSURL, completion: AnyObject? -> Void) {
let endpoint = "http://XXXXXXXXX.com/wp-json/wp/v2/media/?access_token=\(accessToken)"
let parameters = [
"Content-Type": "multipart/form-data",
"Content-Disposition": "attachment; filename=appVideo.mov",
"media_type": "file"
]
var fileData : NSData?
if let fileContents = NSFileManager.defaultManager().contentsAtPath(filePath.path!) {
fileData = fileContents
}
let mgr = Alamofire.Manager.sharedInstance
mgr.upload(.POST, endpoint, multipartFormData: { multipartFormData in
if let _fileData = fileData {
multipartFormData.appendBodyPart(data: _fileData, name: "file", fileName: "file.mov", mimeType: "file/mov")
}
for (key, value) in parameters {
multipartFormData.appendBodyPart(data: value.dataUsingEncoding(NSUTF8StringEncoding)!, name: key)
}
}, encodingCompletion: { encodingResult in
switch encodingResult {
case .Success(let upload, _, _):
upload.response {(request, response, data, error ) in
do {
let json = try NSJSONSerialization.JSONObjectWithData(data!, options: NSJSONReadingOptions.AllowFragments)
if let dict = json as? NSDictionary{
if let url = dict.valueForKeyPath("source_url") as? String{
completion(url)
}
}
} catch let error as NSError{
// completion(error.localizedDescription)
print(error.localizedDescription)
}
}
case .Failure(let encodingError):
print(encodingError)
}
})
}
}
It seems like shorter videos work while anything over 30 seconds fails.
Even shorter videos that do upload take a very long time.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Nothing was wrong with my code I just needed to compress the videos. the longer videos were hitting the WordPress upload limit. Also it's always a good idea to compress videos or images that your uploading somewhere.
