The Youtube API v3 sample for uploading a video using Ruby is outdated

[fearnowrath]

The file https://github.com/youtube/api-samples/blob/master/ruby/upload_video.rb is outdated. It doesn't work with the current version and says cannot require 'google/api_client' as there is no file in the current version.

Also, when i use the version 0.8.2, it can require the above file but it doesn't work in other ways and gives an internal server error on the redirect_uri (i am currently testing on my localhost - i have already set the address http://localhost:8080/ in the allowed domains list on developer console). I thought it would have something to do with the Thin gem but the gem is working fine when i tested on another file.
is there any solution to this?
Thanks.

@fearnowrath Did you ever get the sample code running? If so, what version did you end up using?

[fearnowrath]

@jeffrade i ended up not using the gem and directly calling the Youtube API using httparty. it is much simpler and straightforward. let me know if you want the code.

@fearnowrath If you have any code snippets that you think would be helpful, I will gladly take them :)

I haven't implemented yet, but I found code samples in google/google-api-ruby-client. I assume that might be the preferred client and is more up-to-date.

@jeffrade here is the code i used. However be warned that it doesn't use the google api library at all. If you are just looking for a video upload, this should work fine. http://pastebin.com/gjAqYu28

I agree that the ruby samples really should be updated.
