How to upload to Youtube - any documentation/help appreciated [#1183584]

Hi,

so I have downloaded this module, along with Media Mover. I have also installed the relevant Zend PHP library and created a Youtube API account, with product key.

But I have absolutely no idea how to translate this into functioning video upload to youtube and then displaying the result.

Do I create a normal file upload field and then intercept that with Media Mover? How would I do this, and how would I then receive the result Youtube URLs?

Any help appreciated. Thanks,

Nic

ps. I'm not averse to doing legwork - I've done a fair bit of searching - it just seems as if there is no documentation for either modules, which makes it difficult.

But I'm sure there must be some guidance out there so if anyone has any pointers that would be great.

Well, I had the same problem. When I read the description of the module I was very happy.
But, after the installation that happiness was gone.

After some trial and error I made it work on my site.
I'll post what I did to make it work. (it probably isn't the correct way, maybe someone else finds a better/correcter way).
The modules I activated were:

Embedded Media Field
Media: YouTube
Media Mover CCK
Media Mover Emfield

I created a content type called 'movie' with an upload field.
After that I created another content type called 'youtube processed' with an embedded media field (Media: YouTube module).
I created a new configuration for media mover (admin/build/media_mover/add) with following settings:

Select which harvest module and action to use: Media mover CCK module + fill in the fields
Processing is how files are changed: Media: Youtube + fill in the fields
Select which storage module and action to use: Bypass this operation (since it was sent to youtube)
Select which complete module and action to use: Media Mover: Embedded Media field... + create new node with data

Then, when I create a movie node and cron has run the movie is uploaded to youtube and an emfield node is created with the link to the youtube movie.

If something is not clear, please let me know.

PS: it seems that there is also a Media Mover Auto Run module, I'll check that out tonight. I think that it removes the necessity to run cron.

Please delete this, I don't know why my post is duplicated.

Hi Varengas,

I appreciate your steps. I have been able to follow most of them and upload videos to youtube. However, I can't figure out the last step of getting them back and embedding the URL.

Select which complete module and action to use: Media Mover: Embedded Media field... + create new node with data

Where do you select the complete module? I don't see this in any of the actions for step 3. All I see in the actions are for adding the file back to a node, cck field, drupal node.
