Create a node with video emfield, programmatically

Try this:

function _populate_youtube_emfield(&$node, $vid, $field_name='field_video') {
  $url = 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/' . $vid . '?v=2';
  $request = emfield_request_xml('youtube', $url, array(), TRUE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE, FALSE);

  $node->{$field_name}[0] = array(
    'embed' => 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=' . $vid,
    'value' => $vid,
    'provider' => 'youtube',
    'data' => array(
      //'emvideo_data_version' => 0,
      //  'emvideo_youtube_version' => 0,
      'duration' => $request['MEDIA:GROUP']['YT:DURATION'][1]['SECONDS'],
      'playlist' => 0,
      'thumbnail' => array(
        'url' => 'http://img.youtube.com/vi/' . $vid . '/0.jpg',
      ),
      'flash' => array(
        'url' => 'http://youtube.com/v/' . $vid,
        //'size' => 1082,
        'mime' => 'application/x-shockwave-flash',
      ),
    ),
    'status' => 1,
    // 'version' => 0,
    'title' => '',
    'description' => '',
    'duration' => $request['MEDIA:GROUP']['YT:DURATION'][1]['SECONDS'],
  );
}

As an alternative to the above, have you thought about using the http://drupal.org/project/feeds module?

I have a custom importer setup using it, create a view on site A that outputs XML, csv, or any other format pick your preference as long as feeds supports it. Then create an import profile on site B, map the relevant fields and import away. It may just save you having to hand code eveything.

This code works fine for me.

    $node=new stdClass();
    $node->type='video';
    $node->title='test';
    $node->field_video[0]['embed']='http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxxXX_XxXXx';// or embed code
    $node=node_submit($node);
    if($node->validated) {
      node_save($node);
    }

Hi there jibran
Does the embed code have to be a specific format?

You can add any code as long as you have enabled respective extended module(s). i.e. media_youtube, media_vimeo etc.
I hope this helps.

Thanks will give this a try.

I'm needing this same thing but in D7. Anyone know how I should do it?

Try with this code:

$value='DGdcTbicYzo'; //Youtube video ID

$fid = db_query('SELECT fid FROM {file_managed} WHERE uri = :uri', array(':uri' => 'youtube://v/' . $value))->fetchField();
 if (!empty($fid)) {
    $file = file_load($fid);
  } 
  else {
    $file = new stdClass();
    $file->uid = 1;
    $file->filename = $value;
    $file->uri = 'youtube://v/' . $value;
    $file->filemime = file_get_mimetype(drupal_realpath());
    $file->type = 'video';
    $file->status = 1;
    $file = file_save($file);
}

$node->field_video['und'][0] = (array) $file;

<?php
$node = new StdClass();
$node->type = 'card';
$node->language = LANGUAGE_NONE;
$node->title = "Creating file node youtube";
$node->field_card_type['und'][0]['value'] = 'video';
$video_path = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmsgX1LkeRE";
module_load_include('inc', 'media_youtube', 'includes/MediaInternetYouTubeHandler.inc');
$obj = new MediaInternetYouTubeHandler($video_path);
$file = $obj->getFileObject();
$file->display = 1;
file_save($file);
$node->field_card_upload_video['und'][0] = (array) $file;
node_save($node);
?>
