Question

Does anyone know how to add a video to a playlist when using resumable upload?

Let me make this clear. Below is my code.

Video newVideo = new Video();
newVideo.Title = fileName.Split(".".ToCharArray())[0];
newVideo.Tags.Add(new MediaCategory("Nonprofit", YouTubeNameTable.CategorySchema));
newVideo.Description = DateTime.Now.ToShortDateString();
newVideo.YouTubeEntry.Private = false;
ResumableUploader m_ResumableUploader = null;
Authenticator YouTubeAuthenticator;

m_ResumableUploader = new ResumableUploader(100); //chunksize 1 MB
m_ResumableUploader.AsyncOperationCompleted += new AsyncOperationCompletedEventHandler(m_ResumableUploader_AsyncOperationCompleted);
m_ResumableUploader.AsyncOperationProgress += new AsyncOperationProgressEventHandler(m_ResumableUploader_AsyncOperationProgress);

YouTubeAuthenticator = new ClientLoginAuthenticator("YouTubeUploader", ServiceNames.YouTube, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["USERNAME"].ToString(), ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["PASSWORD"].ToString());

YouTubeAuthenticator.DeveloperKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DEVELOPER_KEY"].ToString();
string contentType = MediaFileSource.GetContentTypeForFileName(fileName);
newVideo.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource(filePath, contentType);

AtomLink link = new AtomLink("http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/resumable/feeds/api/users/<username>/uploads");
link.Rel = ResumableUploader.CreateMediaRelation;
newVideo.YouTubeEntry.Links.Add(link);

System.IO.FileStream stream = new System.IO.FileStream(filePath, System.IO.FileMode.Open, System.IO.FileAccess.Read);

m_ResumableUploader.InsertAsync(YouTubeAuthenticator, newVideo.YouTubeEntry, new object());  

I am trying to upload a video directly to a playlist.

I am looking at this code and I am having a difficult time connecting the two. Need help.

Adding a video to a playlist

You can add a video to a playlist by using a PlayListMember object. The following code creates a PlayListMember object with a known ID value and then adds it to the Playlist object (p). Since the request does not specify a position where the video will appear in the playlist, the new video is added to the end of the playlist.

 // For Playlist object p
 PlayListMember pm = new PlayListMember();
 // Insert <id> or <videoid> for video here
 pm.Id = VIDEOID;
 request.AddToPlaylist(p, pm);

Update 1 – I get an “Unsupported URI format” error when adding to playlist.

YouTubeRequestSettings ys = new YouTubeRequestSettings("YouTubeUploader",
ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["DEVELOPER_KEY"].ToString());
YouTubeRequest ytr = new YouTubeRequest(ys);
Video v = ytr.ParseVideo(e.ResponseStream);                  
PlayListMember pm = new PlayListMember();
Feed<Playlist> userPlaylists = ytr.GetPlaylistsFeed(ytr.Credentials.Username);
foreach (Playlist p in userPlaylists.Entries)
{
     fs.WriteLine(p.Title);
     if (p.Title == "Test 2")
     {
          pm.Id = v.VideoId;
          ytr.AddToPlaylist(p, pm);

          fs.WriteLine("Added To Playlist ");
     }
}

Answer 1

I figured it out. The code on YouTube has an error in it. It tells you to set the PlayListMember id to the VIDEOID.

 // For Playlist object p
 PlayListMember pm = new PlayListMember();
 // Insert <id> or <videoid> for video here
 pm.Id = VIDEOID;
 request.AddToPlaylist(p, pm);

That is incorrect. You need to set the VIDEOID to the PlayListMember VideoID

 // For Playlist object p
 PlayListMember pm = new PlayListMember();
 // Insert <id> or <videoid> for video here
 pm.VideoId = VIDEOID;
 request.AddToPlaylist(p, pm);
