How does YouTube API work? - vBTube.com

When a user uploads and the program has been setup to upload to youtube instead of the local server, what account does the video go under at YouTube.com?

Does it go into an account on YouTube that is predefined?

When you use youtube_browser

Enter search criteria then click enter to find
Now go over to what you want to add
Click the drop down to select which category you want the clip to add to
Click Copy to vbtubePro

That's it, you'll get a confirmation it's been added, now go add more. This has nothing to do with your youtube name or anything like that. It doesn't copy all the comments from youtube or any of the original creator/uploader info like thier name and channel. It only copies the video/title and subject matter.

I don't think you understand my question.

I am told that vbtube will allow my users to upload their videos through my website to youtube. Though it will look like they are on my site the whole time, they actually upload to youtube.

My question is what account at youtube.com does the video get saved under?

That's incorrect. The youtube browser allows you to "one click" youtube video's directly to your site. In order to get video uploaded to youtube, you will still need a youtube id, and channel and upload directly through your youtube channel. Even when you one click the youtube video directly to your site, the youtube video still has it's youtube watermark logo and when it completes playing, it still pops up a range of similar clips to browse.

Oh, well I was thinking this product would allow users to upload through an API and have the videos go straight to YouTube instead of my hosting.

Oh well, looks like a decent product, but that is what I am searching for.

This post,
Uploading Videos
made me think it was doing what I want it to do.

Why would you want people uploading video through your site to youtube anyway? That would be such a huuuuuuuuuuge waste of your bandwidth and money.

What that post you are referring to implies is. The new vbtubePro is now a fully functional uploading/converting/embedding script for video media.

Meaning:

Your members, (if you allow them) would be able to click "add video", (if you have vbtubePro installed). Then click upload. They'd be able to upload raw media like .avi, wmv, mpeg etc. The upload will then be converted to .flv and embed to that particular posting. All media would be served from your domain and saved on your host. Essentially you would become a media hosted outlet.

All the youtube_browser script does is upload a link and embed the link to your posting, hotlinking the video back to youtube where it is hosted.

Hope this helps.

I cant give answers to this question because vBTubePRO doesn´t supports the API of youtube in this moment. Maybe i wil code that for next releases, but now no api sorry.
