  Hey Ray, this is great - thank you! I was wondering if you planned to add a GetVideo function akin to the one in the CFC with the first API, so that you could grab all of the data about a specific video.
  
  Regardless, this is really helpful - thank you!

• Comment 2 written by Geoff on 20 April 2008, at 6:40 AM

  

  Great CFC Ray! I have a quick question about error trapping on cfhttp.
  
  I'm always concerned about timeouts / problems connecting to third party services - how would getVideos() tell the calling app "sorry, I couldn't contact the youtube website"
  
  Could (should?) you change getVideos() to return a struct - one key has the results recordset, and one key has a "statuscode" message maybe?
  
  Then put a timeout on the cfhttp call, and try/catch it?
  
  just a thought...

• Comment 3 written by Raymond Camden on 20 April 2008, at 8:42 AM

  

  I should have more error handling, but no, I don't believe in returning structs like that. I know some folks do - but in my mind, if an error occurs, I should cfthrow. However, I like to throw my own error, using a common type and message format, so you can look for it in the code that calls my cfc.

• Comment 4 written by Raymond Camden on 20 April 2008, at 8:45 AM

  

  @Bob - the odd thing is that what getVideo used to do is mostly contained in the get* feeds. Ie, when you get a list of videos, it contains the same info, per video, that a singular getVideo would contain. I believe. I don't believe - and I have to research this more - that you can get just ONE video based on ID. I meant to actually look into that last night but forgot. I'll make that my next priority.

• Comment 5 written by Bob on 20 April 2008, at 9:35 AM

  

  Thanks Ray. This morning I just used CFHTTP to grab and then XMLParse() to parse the individual video XML page at http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/(videoID). It's doing the job.

• Comment 6 written by Raymond Camden on 20 April 2008, at 6:10 PM

  

  I didn't read the whole spec, but I do remember trying to find docs for getitng one video. Where did you find that? (I'm sure it works and I'll confirm/add it later, but I'd like to be sure it is SUPPOSED to work if you know what I mean.)

• Comment 7 written by Bob on 20 April 2008, at 9:19 PM

  

  I actually used your CFC to pull the list of videos for the user. The ID column contained the feed URL for each video, which I pulled up in Firefox and found the detailed XML. So no, I can't confirm it's SUPPOSED to work.

• Comment 8 written by Raymond Camden on 21 April 2008, at 8:28 AM

  

  I did some more looking last night, and it does seem to be kinda documented - when you look specifically at the Entry field it does talk about the links.
  
  So I will add this later today.

• Comment 9 written by jason on 23 June 2008, at 11:06 PM

  

  hi, great tool, but i can't seem to make it work.
  
  trying the test2.cfm file in the youtubeapi1 folder and keep getting "Bad, unknown, or disabled dev_id specified."
  
  i want to test the upload function and can't get started.
  
  the cfc is installed and i have a valid dev key.
  
  any advice or other documentation? where to start with uploads?
  
  thanks!

• Comment 10 written by Raymond Camden on 24 June 2008, at 2:50 AM

  

  Don't use the youtubeapie1 folder. That's the older code. I include it for folks who may insist upon it - but in general don't support it anymore. Make sense?

• Comment 11 written by Louis Plante on 22 September 2008, at 7:03 PM

  

  Hey Ray, excellent work on the api, i have one question though. I wanted to order the videos by the newest to the oldest. Here is the code that I'm using
  
  <cfset yt = createObject("component", "assets.cfcs.youtube")>
  <cfset pl = yt.getVideosByUser('marjenningstv')>
  
  any suggestions?

• Comment 12 written by Raymond Camden on 22 September 2008, at 7:48 PM

  

  My CFC returns a query. If you want to re-order it, you can use a query of query. I can investigate, later on, adding sorting.
  
  FYI - upload is currently broken. I hope to have it fixed w/n a week. It turns out there is a bug in CF that only gets exposed with the YT api.

• Comment 13 written by Greg E. on 13 October 2008, at 5:12 PM

  

  Hi Ray, Do you have any documentation or examples on uploading videos? This is what I have at this point and the results follow: (thanks for your help and this .cfc)
  
  <cfinvoke component="youtube" method="init" returnvariable="yt"><cfinvokeargument name="devkey" value="#request.YouTubeDeveloperKey#"></cfinvoke>
     
  <cfdump var="#yt.upload(video='#cffile.SERVERDIRECTORY#\#cffile.SERVERFILE#',title='Upload Test',description='Testing',categories='Education',keywords='YouTube ColdFusion')#">
  
  
  Upload Result:

• Comment 14 written by Raymond Camden on 13 October 2008, at 5:17 PM

  

  Greg - video uploads is currently broken. I have worked w/ Adobe and there IS a fix, but the fix involves a hot fix that is not yet released to the public. I'm going to bug them again about that and see when it will go public.
  
  Long story short: You can't do the upload now- period. But you will be able to with a hotfix sometime in the (I would assume!) near future.

• Comment 15 written by aviva on 30 November 2008, at 4:29 PM

  

  i found the hotfix:
  http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?ext...
  
  but i get an error when trying to upload:
  the error is in your cfc, trying to read an error.
  
  can you give an example of the code needed to upload a video?
  
  Element ERRORS.ERROR.DOMAIN.XMLTEXT is undefined in RESXML.
  
  The error occurred in /home/mylifesp/dev_html/my-account/youtube.cfc: line 691

• Comment 16 written by Raymond Camden on 30 November 2008, at 4:40 PM

  

  The only real 'doc' for upload is by reading the CFC method and looking at the arguments. Can you show me how you tried to do an upload?

• Comment 17 written by Derek on 22 December 2008, at 9:27 AM

  

  I noticed it says you need a dev key and YT username and pwd, but in the api docs it says
  
  Both the Client ID and Developer Key should be provided in every API request (see Using a developer key and client ID). Each application/product should have its own unique Developer Key and Client ID.
  http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/dashboard/prod...
  
  Has it changed since the last update?

• Comment 18 written by Raymond Camden on 22 December 2008, at 9:36 AM

  

  I think ClientID is the name of the 'tool' using the service, which in this case is my tool, and is hard coded in the CFC. So basically, you don't need to worry about it.

• Comment 19 written by Derek on 22 December 2008, at 9:37 AM

  

  ahh..ok so they aren't tied together?

• Comment 20 written by Raymond Camden on 22 December 2008, at 9:40 AM

  

  No, it's like your cell phone. Your phone number is unique to you, but your brand name is iPhone. So my code's "brand" is, um, whatever I used (probably something with Camden in it since I'm an egotistical twit), and the dev key is what you are responsible for.

• Comment 21 written by Derek on 15 January 2009, at 8:50 AM

  

  ok, back again. This issue is related to just retrieving videos.
  Everything was working at first. Then I started getting connection failures. I did some testing and by removing the V2 param, I got it working again.
  
  So now the past couple of days it is no longer working on the prod server which is 7,0,2,142559 , but works fine on 8 from my home dev box.
  
  Charset     [empty string]
  ErrorDetail    Unknown host: gdata.youtube.com: gdata.youtube.com

  here is a test page I am using

  If anyone could help, be mucho appreciated.
  
  Thanks,

• Comment 22 written by Raymond Camden on 15 January 2009, at 9:08 AM

  

  Unfortunately this sounds like a Google/YT issue. I'm not sure what I can recommend for that. Removing the v2 param isn't a solution for me as I know I'm relying on some v2 stuff in some calls. You may want to check the network settings on production box.

• Comment 23 written by Lamar on 4 February 2009, at 2:16 PM

  

  Ray - trying to use the upload capability but am a little clueless as to where to start. Any sample code you have for uploading?

• Comment 24 written by Raymond Camden on 4 February 2009, at 2:18 PM

  

  Wasn't there one in the zip?

• Comment 25 written by Raymond Camden on 4 February 2009, at 2:22 PM

  

  Here is an example, with login/key info changed:
  
  <cfset yt = createObject("component", "youtube")>
  <cfset yt.setDeveloperKey("AI39n2n17CzpcDAt6GMrXc8z6DA")>
  <cfset yt.login("cfjedimaster", "password")>
  <cfset r = yt.upload(expandPath('./actual.mov'),'Test/Upload Jack-O-Latern','Playing/with Jack-O-Latern youtube aug29','Music','testing fun')>
  <cfoutput>id=#r#</cfoutput>

• Comment 26 written by tj on 3 September 2009, at 9:30 AM

  

  Hi Ray - great component.
  
  Everything is working just as it should with the exception of the upload. I used the example upload code you supplied (altered to my id, login and video location) and I'm getting the:
  Element ERRORS.ERROR.DOMAIN.XMLTEXT is undefined in RESXML.
  
  Any thoughts?

• Comment 27 written by tj on 3 September 2009, at 9:43 AM

  

  So I just had it return resXML and it appears it does not like my DeveloperKeyID...

• Comment 28 written by Raymond Camden on 4 September 2009, at 4:44 PM

  

  Looks like my error handling could be nicer. Did you get a new dev id though?

• Comment 29 written by tj on 4 September 2009, at 7:48 PM

  

  Yep - working great. Great component and allows me to put off the purchase of a media encoder... for now anyways.
  
  Thanks!

• Comment 30 written by Misty on 28 September 2009, at 2:51 AM

  

  Ok! Very Nice Work Ray!
  
  One last question does not it return rows more than 25 either try to fetch by category or keywords:
  
  Just curious

• Comment 31 written by Raymond Camden on 28 September 2009, at 6:13 AM

  

  According to the getVideosBySearch function, there is a max attribute which defaults to 25, but can go up to 50. You can paginate by using the start attribute.

• Comment 32 written by Shaveta on 28 September 2009, at 10:27 AM

  

  Hi ray! when i try to use getplaylist, it just keeps on loading:
  
  i am just using getplaylist, not getplaylists
  
  is there any example to that

• Comment 33 written by Raymond Camden on 28 September 2009, at 10:28 AM

  

  Are you saying getPlaylist() never finishes? If so, can you tell me the playlist ID you tried?

• Comment 34 written by Shaveta on 28 September 2009, at 9:36 PM

  

  well i never did tried any ID:
  
  i just used #yt.getplaylist#
  
  and it keeps on loading. how can i know in youtube playlists

• Comment 35 written by Misty on 28 September 2009, at 9:42 PM

  

  Thanks Ray! but for all functions it only returns 25, it something needs to be reworked to make it work to fetch all. and once it fetches all, pagination can be donr
  
  Regards

• Comment 36 written by Raymond Camden on 28 September 2009, at 10:08 PM

  

  @Shaveta: Errr - that's not how you call a method. Have you used CFCs before?
  
  @Misty: It only returns 25 if you don't set a max attribute. You can set it to 50. Also, look at the result query. It tells you how many total items there are. With that, you can build your own pagination.

• Comment 37 written by Shaveta on 28 September 2009, at 11:02 PM

  

  Yes! i have used CFC's Before but when i see you playlists example: first you are calling a getplaylists function with pasing yourname and then u did the recordcount and then purl=[1] so the second part is bit ambigious as to u passed it 1. will playlists be visible only for a specific user and not for all.

• Comment 38 written by Misty on 29 September 2009, at 12:55 AM

  

  Alright:
  i am fetching the gettopratedvideos, when i run it, it just returns 25 results, if u can show me a viable example here, I shall be nice. i wanna get all results and show like 1 to 10 of 3773438 results:, then i can add my pagination. currently i am bit confused as there seems to me no result query in cfc which does that stuff

• Comment 39 written by Raymond Camden on 29 September 2009, at 6:17 AM

  

  I don't think you are listening Misty. :) Did you look at the query result? Did you see the total number of results returned? It is in the column: total. So if you have the total _possible_, and you have the ability to pass in a start argument, then you have everything you need.

• Comment 40 written by Raymond Camden on 29 September 2009, at 6:47 AM

  

  @Shaveta: My demo code first gets all of them - this is a query. So when I then call getPlaylist, I'm simply passing in the first URL. I don't pass 1, I pass the value of the purl column, row 1. If this doesn't work for you, please share the code you used.

• Comment 41 written by Shaveta on 29 September 2009, at 7:58 AM

  

  in this first i tried my code which apparently did not worked. then i used you example and same did a copypaste. i did returned 2 results by your names but after that it gave me error

  I just coped from you demo file:
  
  test_getplaylists.cfm and ran it but encountered above errors. if i change the users' name it shows
  
  Element FEED.ENTRY is undefined in RESULT. error.
  
  i have changed nothing in youtube.cfc code. i am just running it as copied from your demo folder and that's it

• Comment 45 written by Raymond Camden on 29 September 2009, at 11:39 AM

  

  I confirmed this bug. The issue was that the playlist had no videos, and the check for that was wrong. I also found another bug as well. I've uploaded the new CFC to:

• Comment 51 written by Misty on 29 September 2009, at 8:29 PM

  

  Hi! I tried your way saying use of Max attribute but really I am lost how do i make it work to fetch all videos not only limited to 25 only. plz plz.
  
  just let me know one example like gettopratedtags video or any other. it should all videos not only 25 please

• Comment 52 written by Raymond Camden on 29 September 2009, at 8:34 PM

  

  Misty, I'm not going to write the entire thing for you. I gave you the basics. You have a start argument and you know the total # of results. Your code basically needs to use pagination. Here is an example that is similar: http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2006/4/24/...

• Comment 53 written by Misty on 29 September 2009, at 9:38 PM

  

  I successfully build up the pagination. it has been a no worry. the only issues which is making me think again & gain is that when i do like gettoprated or other it defaults to 25 only. i added the pagination showing 1 to 10 of 25. so my question is hardly it matters to paginate it returns only 25 not more.
  
  while i am trying to get all related to that function gettoprated

• Comment 54 written by Raymond Camden on 29 September 2009, at 9:40 PM

  

  @Misty: Um.... are you saying you have pagination working, but you want to show 50 per page, not 25?

• Comment 55 written by Misty on 29 September 2009, at 10:00 PM

  

  When i fetch results, It shows to me only 25. I use cfdump but it restricts itself to only 25 while i am looking forward to fetch all the topratedvideos.
  
  suppose 100 topratedvideos are listed on youtube, i ran query it just returned 25. i have added pagination but it has restricted itself to 25 only, while i want the ful youtube 100 listings as on youtube. The same is the case with all queries.
  
  Maybe i am able to clarify what exactly my point is

• Comment 56 written by Raymond Camden on 29 September 2009, at 10:07 PM

  

  Ah, I think I see what you mean. Only the Search API now supports max/start. My funcs for 'get so and so' do not. I'll look at adding in that as well, but no promises yet.

• Comment 57 written by Misty on 29 September 2009, at 10:46 PM

  

  No Problem!
  
  I am happy i am able to pinpoint my message clearly to you
  
  Cheers

  Please download
  
  http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/downloads/youtube.se...
  
  It contains updates to support max/start for the 'top' video type searches. Note max still has a MAX value of 100.

• Comment 59 written by Misty on 30 September 2009, at 8:20 PM

  

  Thanks Ray! Looking forward to this to gets more support for this youtube CFC. Its an Awesome tag you have done a Great Great job.

• Comment 60 written by Misty on 30 September 2009, at 9:07 PM

  

  I noted one thing. It shows 1 to 10 of total of 100. but it counts only to 50.
  
  i mean API does not go beyong 50 records for every function

• Comment 61 written by Raymond Camden on 30 September 2009, at 9:08 PM

  

  Did you try the start argument?

• Comment 62 written by Misty on 30 September 2009, at 10:12 PM

  

  Yes Id did. i passsed it like:
  
  getTopratedvideos("jshjsdsd",1,50)
  
  it retur 50 recs
  
  if try
  
  getTopratedvideos("jshjsdsd",1,100)
  
  it automatically comes to 25
  
  so i have checked it does fetch more than 50, maybe issue with youtube api fetching results

• Comment 63 written by Raymond Camden on 30 September 2009, at 10:14 PM

  

  Right, because the MAX is 50. When you set it to 100 it was too much. Keep it at 50 max.

• Comment 64 written by Misty on 30 September 2009, at 10:18 PM

  

  am i skipping something big, you aid start argument. do i need to pass the start dynamically at the end of first 50 records and then start the next from 51st. is that so

• Comment 65 written by Raymond Camden on 30 September 2009, at 10:21 PM

  

  When you run the query the first time, you should START with 1 and ask for 50 records. Check the TOTAL column in the query. If it is more than 50, then you need to call the CFC again, this time with 1+50, but the same max. Ie, start with 51 and get 50 rows. This will return the next 50.

• Comment 66 written by Misty on 1 October 2009, at 2:03 AM

  

  I have this when i searched: Displaying 1 to 12 of 1000000 Records.
  
  now if i use like this:
  <cfset query = #yt.getVideosBySearch("song",1,50)#>
  
  Element FEED is undefined in PACKET.
  
  if i remove 1,50, it shows records but only 25. i think i have very hard time locating this that if i return total of 1000000. i can use it can get max of 50 in one shift and that shift also needs pagination to say 10 in a row.
  
  question arises. when it reached end of the 50, how does it know to run th cfc again to get another. i think i am doing wrong

• Comment 67 written by Misty on 1 October 2009, at 2:10 AM

  

  error, i found and removed but below the error the confusion still remains

• Comment 68 written by Raymond Camden on 1 October 2009, at 6:38 AM

  

  The CFC doesn't do it for you. You have to do it. As I described - you check the TOTAL value (not the number of records in the column, but the TOTAL column) and if you SEE that more exist, you build links to load the next page. It is a manual process.

• Comment 69 written by Raymond Camden on 1 October 2009, at 8:14 AM

  

  Folks, please test with the version at:
  
  http://youtubecfc.riaforge.org
  
  I've updated it there.

• Comment 70 written by Misty on 1 October 2009, at 1:48 PM

  

  Thanks For pointing, it is a manual task. a thought of a solution like it should feych 10 records at a time and every next prev link, the cfc should again to fetch next 10 and do it until it reaches 100.
  
  i am correct, but exactly i do not know how this can be done

• Comment 71 written by Raymond Camden on 1 October 2009, at 1:51 PM

  

  Misty, I'm sorry, but I'm not going to write this code for you. I linked to an article on doing pagination above. Here is that link again:
  
  http://www.coldfusionjedi.com/index.cfm/2006/4/24/...
  
  If you google for ColdFusion and Pagination, you will see other examples. This is not a Youtube specific issue. Pagination can be done to any set of data, and there are many examples out there, not just the blog entry I linked to above.

• Comment 72 written by Misty on 1 October 2009, at 10:12 PM

  

  Ray! i never said you write code for me of pagination, pagination is easy and i have done it. my issue comes where i told you already that run the cfc first time and fetc the first 10 records. next page, rerun the cfc and fetch the next 10 records.
  
  i tried to make it simple by means that rather than fetching 50 first time and paginate, why not fetch 10 at a time and then paginate, but issue persists, how to fetch the next 10 after first 10.

  Misty, I'm just at a loss. I simply cannot understand what you are asking here. It sounds like you are saying you want 2 calls to the same method to paginate automatically. Ie, first call gets 1-10, second gets 11-20. The CFC can't do that. You have to manually change the start parameter yourself.
  
  If I'm still not reading you right... well, I hate to say I give up, but the language barrier is difficult here.

• Comment 74 written by Misty on 1 October 2009, at 10:33 PM

  

  This time you read me right, Language barrier is a issue here but as you said, it is not possible to do like this. i cannot browse all 100 records. only first 50.

• Comment 75 written by Raymond Camden on 1 October 2009, at 10:35 PM

  

  But you can! Unless there is a bug in the code, you just pass a start value of 51. Again, my CFC won't do this for you. You have to a) determine you have to page and b) write the code to fetch the next page.

• Comment 76 written by Misty on 1 October 2009, at 11:19 PM

  

  Ok lets leave that point for the time being:
  
  suppose there is a method which does not have start and max attributes, can i add to it/

• Comment 77 written by Misty on 2 October 2009, at 5:28 AM

  

  Ok! I am not as experienced as you are but i think you cannot browse all records of youtube. like if founded are 1025. it is nearly no way i found that it can go beyond 50 records. might be you cold find a way instead
  
  Regards

• Comment 78 written by Raymond Camden on 2 October 2009, at 6:22 AM

  

  Misty - let me ask you this. Did you try passing a start value higher than 51? I did. It works.

• Comment 79 written by Misty on 2 October 2009, at 10:14 AM

  

  Hmmmm! passing 51 to 100, it works but that i have to pass manually. i mean i have to tamper the file to fetch the next 50.
  
  so i tried the start and max in the url also but still no luck as:
  
  abc.cfm?start=1&max=10&pagenumber=2
  
  but it did not worked either way too

  I think you are still not getting a core concept of pagination in CF. Did you read my article? In the article, I use links that point back to the script. The starting value defaults to 1, and when I link back, I pass in a new start value. So the page basically links to itself to allow for pagination, all via URL parameters which define where to start.
  
  I really think you need to look at the blog entry I mentioned before as it _does_ explain this concept.

• Comment 81 written by Misty on 2 October 2009, at 10:50 AM

  

  Ok! i am using another pagination but i seems i should try yours. ok let me try with your pagingnation tool and see what i gets

• Comment 82 written by Misty on 2 October 2009, at 11:02 AM

  

  I used Your pagination system which is quite simple to which i am using. it creates link with the start of 1 and then 11 and then 21 and it stops at 25.
  
  how i rerun the cfc again to fetch next 25 or 50 recs,
  
  I am going my blow my balls away with a shotgun! i am too much confused
  
  :((

• Comment 83 written by Raymond Camden on 2 October 2009, at 9:57 PM

  

  You rerun the code when you link to yourself. I honestly do not think you have read the article I linked to. In that article, I show how you create a link back to the current document and pass in a new START value.
  
  _Thats_ how the CFC is run the 2nd time. The first time the user hits the page, url.start doesn't exist, so it defaults to 1, right? You determine there are more than 50 records so you build a link (again, look at the article), and now url.start is 51 and that is passed to the CFC.

• Comment 84 written by Misty on 2 October 2009, at 11:49 PM

  

  Ok! i am doing it like this:
  
  <cfset perpage = 10>
  <cfparam name="url.start" default="1">
  <cfif not isNumeric(url.start) or url.start lt 1 or url.start gt toprated.recordCount or round(url.start) neq url.start>
  <cfset url.start = 1>
     <cfif StructKeyExists(URL,'time')>   
           <cfset tr = #yt.getTopRatedVideos("#url.time#",#url.start#,50)#>
        <cfelse>
           <cfset tr = #yt.getTopRatedVideos("")#>
        </cfif>
  </cfif>
  
  but it does seems to work, i think i am missing one big step, i am near the end but can't find the end

• Comment 85 written by Misty on 2 October 2009, at 11:57 PM

  

  recordcount returns 25 and if parameters are used it returns 50.
  
  now running pagination on 25 or 50 is easy and it works, how it should fetch next 50.
  
  because pagination has toprated.recordcount which is count to every time 50 or 25, so it is possible it keeps on fetching the very next records. seems impossible to me instead

• Comment 86 written by Misty on 3 October 2009, at 1:17 AM

  

  What i have noted, cfc cannot fetch more than 50.
  That all

• Comment 87 written by Misty on 3 October 2009, at 1:42 AM

  

  I tried this way:
  
  http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/standardfeeds/t...
  
  it clearly indicated that it cannot go and fetch the records, max 50 allowed, so i think there is no way how it can done.

  Hi ray! any Update on this

• Comment 89 written by Raymond Camden on 7 October 2009, at 11:58 AM

  

  It is 50 per time. Just change it to 50. Your starting at 51, so you will get 51-101. One arg says where to start, one says how many to get. You will ALWAYS ask for 50 at a time, your just changing the starting position.

  Hi Ray. First I must say thank you for your endless contributions to the CF community. Your CFCs for youtube and amazon s3 have really saved my butt this week. In regards to the youtube CFC, I found some minor issues with the delete method. 1. 'http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/' must be stripped from the videoID before it is passed to the delete method. Other methods in the CFC include this in the code. The delete method does not. 2. The first cfhttp param should be "Host" with a value of "gdata.youtube.com". Ex: "<cfhttpparam type="header" name="Host" value="gdata.youtube.com">" before the content-type param. I discovered this by reviewing the youTube API documentation here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers...
  
  I downloaded version 6 from RIAForge early last week, I'm wondering if I have the latest version. Thanks again for the great CFC's.
  Cheers,
  Eric Wilkinson

  Thank you for the kind words, but I'm not the person behind Amazon S3 support. :)
  
  Anyway, I took your changes as is and pushed it live. Download and check it out please.

  Hello Ray,
  
  I'm trying to use the "update" function of youtube.cfc. When I do, I get a 400 / Explanatioin: Bad Request error.
  
  Here is the code that I'm using:
  
  <cfset yt = createObject("component", "/yt/youtube")>
  <cfset yt.setDeveloperKey("mykey")>
  <cfset yt.login("uname", "pword")>
  <cfset r = yt.update('#form.cause_name#','#form.before_description#','Music','#cause.tags#','#cause.before_video_ytid#')>
  
  Here are the values to the above:
  
  form.cause_name = sample cause
  form.before_description = This is a test description.
  cause.tags = Online, Contribution
  cause.before_video_ytid = my video id displays here...
  
  I checked the URLs and they seem to be correct, not sure what else to try. Any help is greatly appreciated!
  
  - Anthony

  Google is super anal about tags. I've tried to 'massage' the tags value to make them Google happy. I don't have time to test this second - but can you run a quick test where you send one value for tags, something simple like: "Testing". No periods, commas, or spaces. Just one word - and make sure it is at least 4 characters or so long.

• Comment 94 written by Anthony on 17 November 2009, at 6:32 PM

  

  Thanks Ray. I updated the code to generate all static simple values and I'm still getting the same error. Here is the new code:
  
  <cfset yt = createObject("component", "/yt/youtube")>
  <cfset yt.setDeveloperKey("mykey")>
  <cfset yt.login("uname", "pword")>
  <cfset r = yt.update('Test Name','This is a description','Music','Testing','videoidvalue')>

• Comment 95 written by Raymond Camden on 18 November 2009, at 8:27 AM

  

  Oh shoot - you are doing an UPDATE, not an Upload. Sorry. Testing now.

• Comment 96 written by Raymond Camden on 18 November 2009, at 8:46 AM

  

  I fixed it. Please get the latest from Subversion on RIAForge, not the zip, confirm, and then I'll release it.

• Comment 97 written by Anthony on 30 November 2009, at 7:49 PM

  

  Hi Ray, I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I downloaded the new upload code (youtube.cfc), tried the same code with the static values and get the same error.
  
  Can you maybe provide me with a sample code? I may be missing something.
  
  Thanks again!

• Comment 98 written by Raymond Camden on 1 December 2009, at 5:01 PM

  

  Please ping me directlyu and pass along your credentials - if you feel comfortable. Obviously it works for me so I need to test exactly as you have it.
