Upload video to Youtube from command line

[Bryson Jones]

We’ve never set this one up, so NSA may not be of much help, but know that this error is most likely due to OS X security. (Are you on 10.8?)

I believe it’s related to one of your libraries not being installed in the default path, or at least what someone thinks is the default. But I need to grab one of our dev guys to confirm.

Hi Bryson,

thanks for your reply.
Yes we are running 10.8 and this error just appears when i try to login with a username authorized by googlecl. like this:

/opt/local/bin/google —owner (owner) youtube post $i –summary ${NT} –title ${U26} –category ${U31} –access ${U28} –tags ${U27}

when i deleted the “–owner” it’s the command squarebox use and it works only in 1 account.
Do you think it’s possible to use this setup and be able to upload to different accounts, of course specified by different worker actions?

Ok, word from Devs.

When you set up the Google auth, it had to save the credentials in the environment path, so in order to send additional credentials you’ll likely have to set up multiple virtual environments for the Google app to run, then call each of them from a separate WN action.

I’d love to know if this is something that the CatDV world at large is doing a lot. If so, we might take it on and productize a more formal Google/YouTube workflow.

A couple of years back we wrote an app that uploads, receives confirmation of the transfer, and even writes the clip YouTube URL back to the CatDV Server. We could start from that and maybe build it up if there’s a market beyond one guy in the NL. 😉

Good luck man, looks like you are pretty close.

Yes i’ve to figure it out,

i’ve tried different things to create multiple Googlecl environment with different credentials.
But there’s a lot of reading to do and figuring out what’s you can do with the youtube API.
i’m just beginning. But i dropped this question also with Squarebox, hopefully they can get me on track.
At the moment i use Squeeze to do the work, only it would be nice to past the metadata back and forth.
Also i’ve read your answer to a poste of Katie Lowson also questioning about Youtube, and then at the time it was interesting already.
For us our workflow is getting more delivering content to the costumers Youtube channel and organize it for them.
Also shoot it and edit it, but the delivering part en be able to monitor it, is getting more important.

Thanks for your replay,

Hi Bryson,

you were right i was close!
i did it! everything works as I referred.
But i’ve got a question, if i upload a video with the same script in my terminal i get a YouTube URL back, like this:

Login to Youtube API: email=’*******@gmail.com’, password=’********’
Install pycurl to upload the video using HTTP
Start upload using basic gdata API: /Users/admin/Desktop/test2.mov

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=*******

When i upload with the worker i’ve checked “parse output” but how can i put the data “URL” in a User field?

Thanks,
Regards

That’s one for Squarebox, we take the process out into our own app.

You might want to write this as a shell script and then just call it from the Worker Node. If you did that, you could write the URL back into the db using the Worker Node’s command line interface and it would probably be far easier to troubleshoot as you could set up your own error logging etc.
