POFinding out the destination YouTube URL when uploading videos to YouTube via youtube_it gem with Rails
text
Body
copied!<p>I've gotten the 'youtube_it' working great in conjunction with Paperclip to handle video uploads through the browser using the following code:</p> <p>videos_controller.rb</p> <pre><code> def create @video = Video.new(params[:video]) if @video.save uploader = YouTubeIt::Upload::VideoUpload.new( :username => AppConfig[:youtube_user], :password => AppConfig[:youtube_pass], :dev_key => AppConfig[:youtube_api_key]) uploader.upload open( params[:video][:attachment] ), :title => @video.title, :description => @video.description, :category => 'some category', :keywords => ['some keyword 1', "some keyword 2"] @video.deliver_video_notification flash[:notice] = 'Your video is under review for approval.<br/> Please check back in 48 hours.' redirect_to videos_url else @errors = @video.errors @current_video = params[:v].blank? ? Video.newest : Video.find(params[:v]) render :action => :index end end </code></pre> <p>However once the video is uploaded, I have no idea what URL YouTube created for the video without manually logging into the YouTube channel and looking it up. I didn't see any callback in the logs or the response.body that revealed the destination. I'd like to programatically save the destination in some kind of after_save method. As it works right now, it is saving the video object, and after save it is uploading the video to youtube.</p>
