I'm using CodeIgniter + Zend libraries. I want to let users upload videos to my site, which I will then upload to my YouTube channel. This is my first exposure to the YouTube API. Can someone point me in the right direction?
Am I right to be looking at this: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol.html#Direct_uploading? Does anyone have a snippet of code that shows how uploading is done via PHP?
I don't recommend using Zend with CI due to it's size and complexity. I developed a library specifically for CodeIgniter https://github.com/jimdoescode/CodeIgniter-YouTube-API-Library
The library provides several different options for uploading to YouTube. You can do a direct upload where you upload a video stored on your server to youtube. There is also an option to use a form to upload a video from the client to youtube. Check it out and let me know if you have any questions.
