Upload a Video to YouTube™

Using the Youtube™ data API, upload a video directly from MATLAB®.

Description

This MATLAB function will send a video directly to YouTube, along with the most important metadata.

INSTALLATION
1) Download and unzip the GData Java™ Client Library, available at http://code.google.com/p/gdata-java-client/

2) Add the full path to gdata-youtube-1.0.jar to your classpath.txt and restart. Just using JAVAADDPATH doesn't work.

• MATLAB release: MATLAB 7.6 (R2008a)
• Other requirements: * An account (username/password) on YouTube. * GData Java Client Library

very spiffy, matthew! however, what's MUCH more interesting: the html was published using version 7.7(!) already - whilst the pedestrians just received 7.6...

Excellent! Glad to see this. I have tried myself to get a similar function working for uploading MATLAB pics to picasaweb using a similar api from google. But I did not have any luck.

Urs, don't you know? I'm from the future!

This looks very useful (for us). However, the latest java is gdata-youtube-2.0.jar. I think this may be why I can't get this function to work. (I get a youtubeservice error).

Sheesh. This is a long error message. I am sorry about this. I tried making a new account but I am having trouble with the username and password. I don't understand why it isn't logging in. Do you have ideas why this might be happening? I have checked the username and password several times to verify that they are correct.

The problem with this code is in the developerKey, clientid. I think these are expired so you need to register with google API to get your own. I modified the code to allow you to set the privacy settings, and also work for an arbitrary movie type instead just .avi. Send me an email if you want it.
