PHP - Working With The Youtube Api

Has anyone had any success doing this?

I'm not sure if I should try to write this myself or use some kind of framework. I found the Zend Gdata framework (http://framework.zend.com/manual/en/zend.gdata.html) and tried it out but I kept getting error: Warning: include_once() [function.include]: Failed opening '1' for inclusion (include_path='.:/usr/share/pear')

I'm assuming it needs to find PEAR which I don't have installed but no where in the Zend docs does it say that it requires PEAR so I'm a little confused. I've never used any of the Zend frameworks so I have no idea if it needs PEAR or not.

Anyone have any other methods for doing this?

thanks.

Youtube has an advanced api to deliver xml; but when I try to parse its xml, it is not well-defined. I want to get "average rating" for a given video, but simple xml load disregard this section:
$xml = simplexml_load_file('http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/wZ252E282go');
print_r($xml);

How can I put the value of "average rating" into an string to echo?

The application that I want to build is quite simple. Here is a bit of the background of the work flow:

In my company, we create video for our client profile. After the video is done, we upload the video to our website and to youtube. It is done automatically.

After a period of time, the client can delete the video. Of course, it will delete the video in our system as well as the video in youtube. For now, the video in our system is deleted automatically. However, youtube video is deleted manually.

Our company has grown to have quite a lot of clients. It's hard for us to keep track clients that requested to delete their videos. We want to be able to have an application that will delete youtube video automatically.

I already tried to play around with youtube authentication in http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_php.html#Authentication but I have no luck with the authentication.

I want the application to be able to delete the video under my youtube account without having me to login to youtube. In my case right now, every time the application wants to delete the video, I have to send the request to youtube and ask for verification (i.e. I have to do application verification every time).

Here is what I have done so far:

ini_set('error_log', dirname(__FILE__) . '/error_log.txt');
error_reporting(E_ALL);

This is how I call the function: http://example.com/youtube_delete_video.php

So, what I need basically is to know
1. how can I store the authentication after I verify it from youtube?
2. What function to populate after I store the authentication? <- I couldn't figure where this part is in the documentation.

PS: example.com is not a real url. It's just for the sake of writing the post he )

Basically what the title says, I want to detect a upload and post a notification, how would i do this?

Hi,
Have a project, http://ziz.im
URL Shortener.

For some reason, shortened youtube links don't work. When used, they go to the youtube page, displaying a message saying the video is not available. But it's the same link (once redirected) as the original link.

Any idea what could be causing this ?

Hi,

I want to get a latest video from Youtube Playlist. I look it on Google API, and the other solutions, but I think dont undestand quit good what I need to do.

For example a have a playlist:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLW8l7rX2YaXkaSI8GGbmqPjOEmfzd2hz3

And I want to see always only a latest uploaded video, so I need a link (embed - watch, or "youtu.be/xy"):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LyzziLETNUw&list=PLW8l7rX2YaXkaSI8GGbmqPjOEmfzd2hz3

Thanks in advanced,

Hello,

I embed some YouTube videos on my site. Sometimes a video is deleted from YouTube and I have no way of knowing. Does anyone know if there is some php script or by using their API you can check if a video has:

- video has been removed
- video is not embeddable any more

any ideas? Thanks

Hello,

Anyone know a way I could extract information from YouTube. If I have the URL for the video, how could I get the title, runtime, tags and so on into different strings?

    url = "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMAI26FPeyM";


Thanks

i know you get embed code from youtube videos.  How do i put the code into my website.  Do i store the code in mysql? and how do i get php to display it?

I can search for videos by keyword and can fetch videos list from youtube using its api in php. I can fetch video title, description, thumbnail etc. but how can i fetch video url not like this -> youtube.com/watch?id=xyz...     Example: ytpak[dot]com
