I was able to get the upload working using the following code:
if($client->getAccessToken()) {
$snippet = new Google_VideoSnippet();
$snippet->setTitle("Test title");
$snippet->setDescription("Test descrition");
$snippet->setTags(array("tag1","tag2"));
$snippet->setCategoryId("22");
$status = new Google_VideoStatus();
$status->privacyStatus = "private";
$video = new Google_Video();
$video->setSnippet($snippet);
$video->setStatus($status);
$error = true;
$i = 0;
try {
$obj = $youTubeService->videos->insert("status,snippet", $video,

I realize this is old, but here's the answer off the documentation:
// REPLACE this value with the path to the file you are uploading.
$videoPath = "/path/to/file.mp4";
$snippet = new Google_Service_YouTube_VideoSnippet();
$snippet->setTitle("Test title");
$snippet->setDescription("Test description");
$snippet->setTags(array("tag1", "tag2"));
// Numeric video category. See
// https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videoCategories/list
$snippet->setCategoryId("22");
// Set the video's status to "public". Valid statuses are "public",
// "private" and "unlisted".
$status = new Google_Service_YouTube_VideoStatus();
$status->privacyStatus = "public";
// Associate the snippet and status objects with a new video resource.
$video = new Google_Service_YouTube_Video();
$video->setSnippet($snippet);
$video->setStatus($status);
// Specify the size of each chunk of data, in bytes. Set a higher value for
// reliable connection as fewer chunks lead to faster uploads. Set a lower
// value for better recovery on less reliable connections.
$chunkSizeBytes = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
// Setting the defer flag to true tells the client to return a request which can be called
// with ->execute(); instead of making the API call immediately.
$client->setDefer(true);
// Create a request for the API's videos.insert method to create and upload the video.
$insertRequest = $youtube->videos->insert("status,snippet", $video);
// Create a MediaFileUpload object for resumable uploads.
$media = new Google_Http_MediaFileUpload(
$client,
$insertRequest,
'video/*',
null,
true,
$chunkSizeBytes
);
$media->setFileSize(filesize($videoPath));
// Read the media file and upload it chunk by chunk.
$status = false;
$handle = fopen($videoPath, "rb");
while (!$status && !feof($handle)) {
$chunk = fread($handle, $chunkSizeBytes);
$status = $media->nextChunk($chunk);
}
fclose($handle);
// If you want to make other calls after the file upload, set setDefer back to false
$client->setDefer(false);

But if the page gets refreshed or if the user clicks the button by mistake one more time, it will re-upload the video. Check this post to deal with the duplicated video issue
I know this question is old but this is a issue I was struggling with for a while.
In my situation, I had a form that needed to pass values to my upload script, and if a user wasn't signed in then the post values would get lost during the sign in process. So I came up with a way using session variables.
First towards the start of my script I set a variable to count the 'page' views -
// set the session views
if (!isset($_SESSION['views'])) {
$_SESSION['views'] = 0;
}
// every view increments
$_SESSION['views'] = $_SESSION['views'] + 1;
Then I stored session variables.
// If the user hasn't authorized the app, initiate the OAuth flow
$state = mt_rand();
$client->setState($state);
$_SESSION['state'] = $state;
$authorID = $_POST['a_id'];
$videoTitle = $_POST['ytu_title'];
// Set session variables
$vidID = $_POST['vid_id'];
$_SESSION["author"] = $_POST['a_id'];
$_SESSION["title"] = $_POST['ytu_title'];
$_SESSION["video"] = $vidID;
Then I put an if statement to check the views before uploading -
// if its on the third view or more
if ($_SESSION['views'] >= 3) {
// Create a snippet with title, description, tags and category ID
// Create an asset resource and set its snippet metadata and type.
// This example sets the video's title, description, keyword tags, and
// video category.
$snippet = new Google_Service_YouTube_VideoSnippet();
$snippet->setTitle($_SESSION["title"]);
$snippet->setDescription("Youtube Video.");
$snippet->setTags(array(
"test",
"test 2"
));
// and rest of the upload part from upload php script
// etc etc
// Create a MediaFileUpload object for resumable uploads.
$media = new Google_Http_MediaFileUpload($client, $insertRequest, 'video/*', null, true, $chunkSizeBytes);
$media->setFileSize(filesize($videoPath));
// Read the media file and upload it chunk by chunk.
$status = false;
$handle = fopen($videoPath, "rb");
while (!$status && !feof($handle)) {
$chunk = fread($handle, $chunkSizeBytes);
$status = $media->nextChunk($chunk);
}
fclose($handle);
} // closing if statement
I was finally able to fix my issue with the if statement before uploading.
I think I found the answer from this article.
Steps:
Step 1. Create a token.php (make sure set it to 777). Place the code example from Google - https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/code_samples/php#upload_a_video - with a little of this modification as follow:
Change:
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
}
To:
if (isset($_SESSION['token'])) {
$client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['token']);
// @ref: http://www.whitewareweb.com/php-youtube-video-upload-google-api-oauth-2-0-v3/
echo "Access Token: " . $_SESSION['token'];
}
Step 2. Run token.php on your browser. Grant the access. Then you get a json output below:
{
"access_token": "xxxxt7YvjObwYx3DG4NRmfjiQ",
"token_type": "Bearer",
"expires_in": 3600,
"refresh_token": "xxxxq5hzQTUapZ7zyRIHP7X_G8",
"created": 1466238624
}
Save it as token.txt
Step 3. Create upload.php with the same example code from Google - with the following modification:
One. Include token.txt file in the beginning of your upload.php:
$key = file_get_contents('token.txt');
Then pass $key into new Google_Client():
$OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID = 'xxxx.googleusercontent.com';
$OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET = 'xxxx';
// Client init
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setClientId($OAUTH2_CLIENT_ID);
$client->setAccessType('offline');
$client->setApprovalPrompt('force');
$client->setAccessToken($key);
$client->setClientSecret($OAUTH2_CLIENT_SECRET);
Two. Add this code in the try catch section before $youtube = new Google_Service_YouTube($client);:
/**
* Check to see if our access token has expired. If so, get a new one and save it to file for future use.
*/
if($client->isAccessTokenExpired()) {
$newToken = json_decode($client->getAccessToken());
$client->refreshToken($newToken->refresh_token);
file_put_contents('token.txt', $client->getAccessToken());
}
Step 4. Run upload.php that's it.
You can get the entire code from that article.
I know this sounds pretty weird, but I had the same issue the other day. I was trying different things... Try to change the YouTube category ID...
Try to change it to 1, took me hours of troubleshooting this to finally find that a lot of the categories do not work in the YouTube PHP SDK.
If that works, might want to make an API call to YouTube and get a list of all Category ID's, and try them all individually until you find the ones that do work... Documentation on how to do that is here: https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videoCategories/list
This is assuming that you have all of your OAuth tokens correct.
Strangely a very small tweak in code fixes the problem.
Instead of just $videoPath = "/path/to/file.mp4"; using DOCUMENT_ROOT solves the issue. Other than that code of documentation is perfect.
$videoPath = $_SERVER["DOCUMENT_ROOT"] . "/mapapp/videos/test.mp4";
for other whoe comes around and deal with "Failed to parse Content-Range header"
I was searching for 3 days and finaly i found my solution...
my file was bigger then 4gb and xampp on windows (my webserver tool) is just 32bit so the fopen() command could not read my big files.
I installaed apache 64bit and php7 64bit by my own and it is gone
At this moment my script finaly loads chunks on big files
794 - 07:14:15 - 832569344

allready 804 chunks ^^ no truncate nothign :D just uploading flawless
