I’m not really sure, but theoretically it might be possible to build a flash-based client for the YouTube-API. this might enable direct uploads from the client’s browser to YouTube. however, I’m no expert on flash, so maybe there are some limitations which might prevent this from working…

Hey, just a question. This API would enable me to do direct uploads, aight? Then, do you happen to know how could I (under the APIs terms) spare the bandwidth (and hosting space) an user video takes and just send it as-is to youtube? Their docs say textually:

>Binary File Data - This value contains the binary code for the video file that is being uploaded.

Which is a cunt of a limitation when I’m the one to pay for each transfer. Any ideas on that?

[...] Obwohl es seit kurzem ja auch eine offizielle API zum Upload gibt (näheres dazu auf meinem englischsprachigen Blog), ist heute mit dem Joomla-Plugin “YouTube we Download” ein weiterer Port dazugekommen [...]

Please update your library if possible. It is much easier to use than youtube API, which requires the complicated authentication procedure and developer key. Thanks for your great work.
