Dependencies

• Google Data APIs Python Client Library (≥ v1.2)

How to Use

The Youtube Uploader has been built entirely from scratch, and uses the lastest Google Data API v3. The latest API has fundamentally different security and authentication procedures than previous versions, for more information on the backing technology, please see <http://oauth.net/2/>. As such, the upload process can seem a little daunting at first glance, but in the end its actually quite easy to use, and future features like livestreaming, could build upon this.

Email (user@example.com): <user enters their youtube account email>
Password: <user enters password>
Video or Directory: path/to/videos <user enters file or directory to be uploaded>

If the login credentials are valid, the video(s) will be uploaded sequentially and their URLs will be displayed.

Note

The video directory configured with Freeseer is used to find videos.
