README

Plugin/FieldType that uploads video assets to YouTube and is able to output their YouTube URL's in the front-end.

Important

The plugin's folder should be named "youtube"
This plugin requires Dukt's OAuth plugin to be installed

Deprecated

With the release of Craft 3 on 4-4-2018, this tool has been deprecated. You can still use this with Craft 2 but you are encouraged to use (and develop) a Craft 3 version. At this moment, I have no plans to do so.

Usage

This plugin provides an YouTube Upload FieldType that works like the Asset FieldType.
You can upload a video, and the plugin starts a background task to upload this video to YouTube.
Once it is done it saves the YouTube video URL to the database.
It is then able to return a model that contains the YouTube ID and URL's for watching and embedding.

Known issues

There appears to be a problem when uploading the same video more than once in a session. It looks like it might be a YouTube bug, and I've reported it here: https://code.google.com/p/gdata-issues/issues/detail?id=7326&thanks=7326&ts=1434712883

Roadmap

Better OAuth plugin integration and dependency management
Better YouTube upload progress indication
