Upload video to YouTube as unlisted

Question

So, I am able to upload a video to YouTube (direct upload) using the PHP client library and set it to private, but is it possible to set it as unlisted?

Answer 1

You must use this code as a child of the XML element of the request:

<yt:accessControl action="list" permission="denied"/>

If you can't add it manually (usually using zend) you may use this code to add the corresponding zend entry:

//Creates an extension to Zend Framework
$element = new Zend_Gdata_App_Extension_Element('yt:accessControl', 'yt', 'http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007', ''); 

//Adds the corresponding XML child/attribute
$element->extensionAttributes = array(array('namespaceUri' => '', 'name' => 'action', 'value' => 'list'), array('namespaceUri' => '', 'name' => 'permission', 'value' => 'denied')); 

//Adds this extension to you video entry where "$myVideo" is your video to be uploaded
$myVideo->extensionElements = array($element); 

Hope this helps :D
