What is wrong with Youtube API (invalid request)?

When I try to upload a video using the youtube API, I get an "Invalid Request" error message.

BUT!

When I upload any "image" instead of "video", it returns me the status of "200" and the video ID.

Why can't I upload a video?

$eq = 'accountType=HOSTED_OR_GOOGLE&Email='.$YOUTUBE_EMAIL.'&Passwd='.$YOUTUBE_PASS.'&service=youtube&source='.$API_NAME; if ($fp = fsockopen ("ssl://www.google.com", 443, $errno, $errstr, 20)) { $request ="POST /youtube/accounts/ClientLogin HTTP/1.0\r\n"; $request.="Host: www.google.com\r\n"; $request.="Content-Type:application/x-www-form-urlencoded\r\n"; $request.="Content-Length: ".strlen($eq)."\r\n"; $request.="\r\n\r\n"; $request.=$eq; fwrite($fp,$request,strlen($request)); while (!feof($fp)) $response.=fread($fp,8192); //fclose($fp); } preg_match("!(.*?)Auth=(.*?)\n!si",$response,$ok); $AUTH_TOKEN = $ok[2]; $data = "<?xml version='1.0'?> <entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'> <media:group> <media:title type='plain'>test</media:title> <media:description type='plain'>test</media:description> <media:category scheme='http://gdata.youtube.com/schema /2007/categories.cat'>People</media:category> <media:keywords>toast, wedding</media:keywords> </media:group> </entry> "; if ($fp = fsockopen ("gdata.youtube.com", 80, $errno, $errstr, 20)) { $request ="POST /action/GetUploadToken HTTP/1.1\r\n"; $request.="Host: gdata.youtube.com\r\n"; $request.="Content-Type: application/atom+xml; charset=UTF-8\r\n"; $request.="Content-Length: ".strlen($data)."\r\n"; $request .="Authorization: GoogleLogin auth=".$AUTH_TOKEN."\r\n"; $request.="X-GData-Client: ".$API_NAME." \r\n"; $request.="X-GData-Key: key=".$API_KEY." \r\n"; $request.="\r\n"; $request.=$data."\r\n"; socket_set_timeout($fp, 10); fputs($fp,$request,strlen($request)); $response = fread($fp,3280); fclose($fp); } preg_match('|<url>(.*)</url>|Uis', $response, $url); preg_match('|<token>(.*)</token>|Uis', $response, $token); print " <form action='".$url[1]."?nexturl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.google.com' method='post' enctype='multipart/form-data'> <input type='file' name='file'> <input type='hidden' name='token' value='".$token[1]."'> <input type='submit' value='go'> </form> ";

Hahahah !! almost a year later, I think I found a fix.

there is a space in your line after "/ schema" and before "/ 2007"

 <media:category scheme='http://gdata.youtube.com/schema /2007/categories.cat'>People</media:category>

he should be

 <media:category scheme='http://gdata.youtube.com/schema/2007/categories.cat'>People</media:category>

see the second block of code in the section: https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_direct_uploading#Sending_a_Direct_Upload_API_Request
