How to upload video on YouTube with Ruby
- by viatropos
I am trying to upload a youtube video using the GData gem (I have seen the youtube_g gem but would like to make it work with pure GData if possible), but I keep getting this error:
GData::Client::BadRequestError in 'MyProject::Google::YouTube should upload the actual video to youtube (once it does, mock this test out)'
request error 400: No file found in upload request.
I am using this code:
def metadata
data = <<-EOF
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"
xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"
xmlns:yt="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007">
<media:group>
<media:title type="plain">Bad Wedding Toast</media:title>
<media:description type="plain">
I gave a bad toast at my friend's wedding.
</media:description>
<media:category scheme="http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/categories.cat">People</media:category>
<media:keywords>toast, wedding</media:keywords>
</media:group>
</entry>
EOF
end
@yt = GData::Client::YouTube.new
@yt.clientlogin("name", "pass")
@yt.developer_key = "myKey"
url = "http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/name/uploads"
mime_type = "multipart/related"
file_path = "sample_upload.mp4"
@yt.post_file(url, file_path, mime_type, metadata)
What is the recommended/standard way for uploading videos to youtube with ruby, what is your method?
Update
After applying the changes to wrapped_entry, the string it produces looks like this:
--END_OF_PART_59003
Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<entry xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"

--END_OF_PART_59003

... and inspecting the request and response looks like this:

Still not working, I'll have to check it out more with those changes.
