Description
I have a project coming up that needs to let Drupal users upload videos to the site by using their own Youtube credentials instead of the single account approach this module currently uses.
The task seems possible. Assuming no better solution is found, I will be coding an addition to this module that will accomplish this. Has anyone else been working on this feature? Is there a "right" way to do it in the current code?

Scott,
I haven't been working on this, although it is one of my long-term goals for the module. I will gladly accept any patches you make that integrate this functionality. A few tips for 'the right way':
Find the sections of the code that are pulling the video_upload_youtube_username and video_upload_youtube_password, since those places in the code are where youtube authentication will be taking place.
Also keep in mind that I am (in the long term) trying to generalize this module away from being youtube-specific, so any youtube-specific additions should go in youtube.inc.

Hey jhedstrom -- any progress on this? I know I'm intrigued. :) Subscribing.
