Authenticating each upload

[uzelessknowledge]

Earlier this year I started using this api to upload videos to Youtube from my RaspberryPi and It worked great. I took the Pi offline for the summer and now I've fired it back up, but I can't upload. I'm getting an oath2client error. Discovered the upload_video.py script has changed and oath2 is depreciated.

I imaged a new SD and was able to get it to upload, but I'm having to authenticate for every upload. I get the message to copy the URL and paste into the browser. Earlier this year with I did this project I was able to use --noauth_local_webserver and it wouldn't authenticate every time.

What can I do so I don't have to copy the url each time. I need the upload to be hands off, which it was before.

Can confirm that I am experiencing the same problem. This also makes the API useless for my purposes. I spent the better part of the last eight hours trying to find a solution to no avail. --noauth_local_webserver seems to be depreciated and gives the error "error: unrecognized arguments: --noauth_local_webserver". It could have to do with google migrating to a new authentication system. It is not determined whether this was depreciated in the upload_video.py script (arbitrarily removed in the latest commit) or the google API libraries (arbitrarily or because the back-end no longer functions due to an upgrade), but the function ceases to operate so it must be disabled or removed in the latest version. I would say that this is enough to make the current version unusable for many people. Please let us know if you find a patch

Unlikely that it was depreciated by a commit to this script as this script never included the library for --noauth_local_webserver (I checked the 2013 version), which is odd given that it resembles the --file command and --description command that is explicitly listed. Unless they retroactively removed that from the 2013 commit. Checking the google-auth-oauthlib library and will compare with older versions

Using grep, no python files contained the text --noauth, --noauth_local_webserver, noauth found for version 0.0.1 of the google auth libraries (google-auth-oauthlib=0.0.1)

Using grep no python files containing text noauth, noauth_local_webserver etc found in any of the google-auth-ouathlib libraries (versions 0.0.1 through 0.2.0), will check all versions of the dependencies which as are as follows

google-auth
requests-oauthlib
pyasn1-modules
rsa
six
cachetools
requests
oauthlib
pyasn
ina
urllib3

Most likely it will be located in the requests dependency or google-auth, requests-oauthlib dependencies

Let me save you a lot of pain and frustration. After looking for forks of this script to see if any had the original --noauth flag which for some reason is now missing from the argumentparser, I found this nifty program written in go. It even comes pre-compiled, just unzip it or remove the .gz and then chmod +x the executable file name (name of the unzipped or un-gzed file"

Follow the instructions "Alternative Oauth setup for headless clients". You'll download the Json of the "other" kind of webapp - you don't have to manually configure client_secrets.json and have fun when you discover Google doesn't remove the whitespace from the whitespace sensitive client secret Id. Just add that json under the name "client_secrets" to the directory and you're good to go. I verified it and it worked on my Debian machine today
