Hi, I've been waiting for this module with baited breath.
Does the module itself provide the direct functionality for uploading video to youtube, or does it require other modules to compliment it? I can't seem to find options for the upload function - it's not using CCK fields like the Video Upload module does.
Any pointers would be appreciated.

mandmzoom commentedCan you please let me know if this api would also support drupal version 6.3?

beeradb commentedThis module gives all the tools needed to upload videos, but at this point does not implement it. I've purposefully left that capability out of this module, to allow maximum flexibility for other modules which I expect will implement video uploads. I've written a module to map node fields to the fields required for video uploads, and perform the upload using hook_nodeapi. It's not a terribly difficult task, but I'd be hesitant to release it, since it's not what I consider production quality code, and I have no interest in being expected to perform long term maintenance on it.
This API will definitely support 6.3. So far the only thing required to make the HEAD version of the module support 6.3 should be updating hook_menu, I've put off the port until we have a stable feature set (very, very close) to avoid needlessly maintaining two branches while development is still moving forward so quickly.

mrjw commentedI'm really looking forward to seeing video uploading capabilities also, I thought it would have it in the available module, but its not.
It makes it hard to understand when you enable the module then spend 1-3 hours trying to figure out why you can't upload videos via the Drupal Youtube API module :/

beeradb commented@mrjr: Noted, perhaps I should be more clear on the modules project page. I'll update the wording for clarity's sake. There are some examples on the modules project page which show you how you might implement video uploading from your site. This module gives you all the tools needed to do that, but by default leaves implementation details up to other developers. I do have a module which will handle the video uploading for you, but it will not be released except as example material -- I have no interest in maintaining it. If you'd like that module let me know, and I can post it to this thread or email it to you.
