How to upload LARGE files on YouTube [closed]

Question

I have tried two methods to upload large files on YouTube but none of them works, each has its own issues, my aim is to find a correct answer to upload large files.

First Method:

It chunks the large files into different parts, and rather than sending them separately and upload them at once it uploads them separately. So at the end I have a long list of unloadable different parts of the file on Youtube rather than a single file.

Code of method 1

if ($client->getAccessToken()) {
  $videoPath = "path/to/foo.mp4";
  $snippet = new Google_VideoSnippet();
  $snippet->setTitle("Test title2");
  $snippet->setDescription("Test descrition");
  $snippet->setTags(array("tag1", "tag2"));
  $snippet->setCategoryId("22");

  $status = new Google_VideoStatus();
  $status->privacyStatus = "private";

  $video = new Google_Video();
  $video->setSnippet($snippet);
  $video->setStatus($status);

  $chunkSizeBytes = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
  $media = new Google_MediaFileUpload('video/mp4', null, true, $chunkSizeBytes);
  $media->setFileSize(filesize($videoPath));

  $result = $youtube->videos->insert("status,snippet", $video,
      array('mediaUpload' => $media));

  $status = false;
  $handle = fopen($videoPath, "rb");
  while (!$status && !feof($handle)) {
    $chunk = fread($handle, $chunkSizeBytes);
    $uploadStatus = $media->nextChunk($result, $chunk);
  }

  fclose($handle);
}

I found this question which its answer code is similar to google_mediaFileupload but I am not sure how to use it.

Second method

I am also trying to use resumable upload to upload them but when I use the following code it runs into following error:

Code of method 2

<?php
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/Google_Client.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/contrib/Google_YouTubeService.php';
require_once 'google-api-php-client/src/service/Google_MediaFileUpload.php';
session_start();

$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName('Google+ PHP Starter Application');
$client->setClientId('My Client ID');
$client->setClientSecret('My secret code');
$client->setRedirectUri('http://localhost:8888/mymediaapp2/uploadvideo.php');
$client->setDeveloperKey('My developer key');
$client->setScopes("https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload");
$youTubeService = new Google_YoutubeService($client);

if (isset($_GET['code'])) {
  $client->authenticate();
  $_SESSION['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
  $redirect = 'http://' . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];
  header('Location: ' . filter_var($redirect, FILTER_SANITIZE_URL));
}

if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
  $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
}

if ($client->getAccessToken()) {
echo "here";
$json = $client->getAccessToken();
$jsonIterator = new RecursiveIteratorIterator(
    new RecursiveArrayIterator(json_decode($json, TRUE)),
    RecursiveIteratorIterator::SELF_FIRST);
$myvar = "";
foreach ($jsonIterator as $key => $val) {
   if($key == "access_token")
    echo "val is" .$val;
}

    $service_url = 'https://www.googleapis.com/upload/youtube/v3/videos?
    uploadType=resumable&part=snippet,status';
    $c = curl_init($service_url);
    $curl_post_data = array(
        "Authorization" => $val,
        "Content-Length" => '255',
        "Content-Type" => 'application/json; charset=UTF-8',
        "X-Upload-Content-Length" => '30000',
        "X-Upload-Content-Type" => 'video/mov'
    );

    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POST, true);
    curl_setopt($c, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $curl_post_data);
    $curl_resp = curl_exec($c);

    curl_close($c);
    echo $curl_resp;
}else {
  $authUrl = $client->createAuthUrl();
  print "<a href='$authUrl'>upload</a>";
}



?>

Error of method 2

{ "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "reason": "required", "message": "Login 
Required", "locationType": "header", "location": "Authorization" } ], "code": 401, 
"message": 
"Login Required" } } 

Please note, I have given 50 bounty to one of the answers for solving one of the issues of the code. Although the problem is not completely solved yet.

Answer 1

You have forgotten to set the API key and you may use resumable upload.

Answer 2

You should create a project in your Dev Console and get your client id and secret from that console.

Getting Started Guide has all the information.

First, you will start with Registering your Application.

Also you can watch this video for How to Do it.

Answer 3

Right now, PHP client library supports Resumable uploads but most of large uploads come from direct upload anyway.

Should be just a matter of setting a parameter in the constructor of Google_MediaFileUpload.

There is an example of usage of the class here, the relevant line is:

$media = new Google_MediaFileUpload('video/mp4', null, true, $chunkSizeBytes);

For authentication, you can use examples like in this one. Try creating installed application and other, use that client id and secret while you are testing locally.
