Make a program to upload videos to a youtube account
Budget: $30 – $250 USD
Create a command line program with NO user interface, for Windows, that will run on Windows 7 to upload videos to a youtube account.
This program will be called from another program and will be tested in a DOS box (command prompt).
The program will read an instruction file which will have the location of the video to upload and all of the data to fill in the fields in the youtube account form for uploading a new video.
The program will take the information in the instruction file and upload the video, then upload the thumbnail, and then fill in all of the fields.
upload_video.exe <instruction_file> <result_file>
instruction_file:
account_login=abc
account_password=123
upload_file=c:\videos\video1.mp4
title=this is a title
description=this is a description on two lines.<br>This is line 2 of the description
thumbnailfile=c:\tn.jpg
playlist=list1
made_for_kids=no
paid_promo=no
automatic_chapters=yes
tags=all,tags,are,separated,by commas,done
video_language=English
recording_date=
video_location=New York, USA
category=Education
shorts_sampling=yes
comments=hold_for_review OR allow_all OR hold_potentially_inappropriate OR disable

result_file:
upload of "c:\videos\video1.mp4" was successful./failed.
upload of "c:\tn.jpg" was successful./failed.
The result file is specified on the command line.
If the result file is not specified, you do not generate a result file.
