Uploading videos onto Youtube?

IOException when Uploading Videos to YouTube via Java API

• I have been attempting to upload videos to YouTube via the JavaAPI using Direct Uploading. I have been having a problem when I call the insert() method, I get a IOException with the error message "Error writing request body to the server" I have verified that the File object I am creating is correct as well as all the details in my VideoEntry object. I have been using Fiddler to monitor the activity from my machine and no request is made to the upload API so the problem is not there. Here is a summary of the code I am using: VideoEntry newVideo = new VideoEntry(); //Defined video properties such as title and description here. MediaFileSource ms = new MediaFileSource(videoFile, "video/flv"); newVideo.setMediaSource(ms); VideoEntry createdEntry = settings.insert(new URL(apiUrl), newVideo); The IOException is thrown on the insert call (settings is my YouTubeService instance) and the API URL appears to be correct. Prior to this I have succeeded in uploading this video using the C# API so I know the video file is valid. --Update This is the apiURL value: http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/default/uploads

• Answer:

  If you are under a firewall env and had configured your proxy settings in jvm system properties. The try configuring your youtube service as: service.setChunkedMediaUpload(MediaService.NO_CHUNKED_MEDIA_REQUEST); or in your case settings.setChunkedMediaUpload(MediaService.NO_CHUNKED_MEDIA_REQUEST); since as you say is your YouTubeService instance. hope this helps.
