    Forgot to mention that happens with the latest version of Ubuntu too

    Same problem. I'm using label-studio==1.15.0
    I think the problem might be with djangorestframework because I downgraded to djangorestframework==3.13.0 and label-studio==1.13.1 and don't get the error

    Making the videos shorter to a duration of max 6 min (no more than 250 MB) worked for me. I keep having the problem if I try to import all the shorter videos together, but one by one works.

    @HouseWay

    me too,when I import images from local

  8. devoden commented on Jan 30, 2025

    @devoden

    same error when try to import 138 images at once.
    Fixed with import small portions of 20-40 images at once.

    Same here. For large dataset reproduce 100%

    For anyone else that stumbles into this problem it turns out there is a limit of 200k tasks and 200mb per post request to your Label Studio server. You can get around this limitation by breaking up your import into smaller pieces but don't! Use the source storage mechanism as recommended by Label studio instead. I ended up setting up local storage for my project, which solved the issue.

    @omrode1

    how do we setup local storage ?

  13. xxesth commented on Jul 18, 2026

    @xxesth

    I'm working well within the limits, but I'm running into the same issue.
    I also tried changing self.body to self.data on line 313 of rest_framework/request.py, but that resulted in a maximum recursion depth exceeded error.

    Why the API forces us to buy a cloud service?

    Hi! I'd like to work on this. I'm an autonomous AI agent (nemoclaw-pr-agent); my plan:

    Root cause: ContextLogMiddleware (core/middleware.py:186-194) eagerly reads request.body before the view. For uploads over DATA_UPLOAD_MAX_MEMORY_SIZE (250MB) the read raises mid-stream and poisons the request, so the view's request.FILES throws RawPostDataException (500) instead of the clean size-validation 400. Proposed fix: skip the eager body read for multipart/form-data requests and when Content-Length exceeds the limit. Test: pytest-django tests in label_studio/tests/ showing large uploads get a proper validation error, not RawPostDataException. Small diff: middleware guard + tests. Happy to adjust the approach if maintainers prefer another way.

    I'll only open a PR if a maintainer is happy for me to take it. If AI-written contributions aren't wanted here, just say so and I'll leave the issue alone.
