Issue Summary

Hi, I've got the module installed and working as it should, as far as I know. It works fine for me, when I'm logged into any account I create, however some of my users are encountering the following error when trying to view the videos I've uploaded. I've set them all to private as they are all member's only videos. Am I misinterpreting how this module is supposed to work - as I was under impression that any views of the video would be as if they were logged into my Youtube account. Therefore, even if I set a video to private, I would assume that youtube would still serve the video as they would think that it was me viewing it - or am I mistaken in that?

Here is the error message many are seeing:

"This is a private video. If you have been sent
this video please make sure you accept the users friend request."

Thanks.

Private video handling is not built into the module at this point.

I'd love to see support for making videos private by default when uploading through Video Upload. Is it currently possible to add this as a parameter from another field when submitting a node?

Thanks!

This is crucial for me. Anyone have any ideas?

@brei9000

I was able to solve my need by setting the site's own youtube account to default to private videos -- which is used when things are uploaded via video_upload.

Would also like to see the feature of enabling public, private or unlisted. (Setting defaults and per node options. :)

Please, this would be the best feature ever....

1) Option to make videos private by default
2) Option to playback private data to authenticated users, without them needing to login to youtube

Thank you for the great mod thus far....

Version:6.x-1.x-dev» 6.x-2.x-dev

New features happen in 2.x
Also see #453458: Support for native drupal workflow where an approach for this is being discussed (also some code that's nearly ready)

Sounds great. I didn't see a mention of the ability to set video as "unlisted" on youtube, only "private". Is there an attempt at implementing this as well?

No plans to do that. Would accept a patch.

Youtube API currently does not support unlisted at all.

It does however support Private. I am trying to implement this into my site now but no success atm. If I figure out how to get it working I will post it here.
