= Versions

youtube-upload: stable
python: 2.7.1
python-gdata:2.0.17

= Describe the steps (including the command you run) that will reproduce
the problem?
I installed gdata and used the test run and everything worked OK. Installed 
also the youtube-upload and there were no errors. But when I actually tried to 
upload it is giving me this problem. Please help, I don't know python and this 
is my first time working with google apis.

Thank you in advance

cannot reproduce. Please insert this print in line 254 and paste here its 
output:

  xmldata = urllib.urlopen(cls.CATEGORIES_SCHEME).read()
  print("xmldata", xmldata)
  xml = ElementTree.XML(xmldata)

Answer 10 · 2015-04-27T19:48:49.000Z

wait, are you saying that it works with the print, but not if you remove it? 
try then something like this:

xmldata = str(urllib.urlopen(cls.CATEGORIES_SCHEME).read())

Answer 12 · 2015-04-27T19:48:49.000Z

instead of the print (but try everything you can)

the still processing is normal, youtube takes a while.

1st thank you a lot for ur help
then i would like to ask about the category why should i put a category and 
when i upload a video it doesn't ask to choose one

how can i upload without choosing a category

Original comment by test.for...@gmail.com on 1 Oct 2012 at 12:21

Answer 15 · 2015-04-27T19:48:50.000Z

I made the Category compulsory because the API requires it. If you send with it:

gdata.youtube.service.YouTubeError: {'status': 400, 'body': "<?xml 
version='1.0' 
encoding='UTF-8'?><errors><error><domain>yt:validation</domain><code>required</c
ode><location 
type='xpath'>media:group/media:category[@scheme='http://gdata.youtube.com/schema
s/2007/categories.cat']/text()</location></error></errors>", 'reason': 
'Validation Failed'}

I don't know why the API requires it and the web interface don't.

Did it work with the str(...) ?

Answer 16 · 2015-04-27T19:48:50.000Z

Answer 17 · 2015-04-27T19:48:50.000Z

> yes it worked with the str

ok, uploaded: r172

> can i change the upload code to not require the the category?

you can play with this:

        media_group = gdata.media.Group(
            title=gdata.media.Title(text=title),
            description=gdata.media.Description(description_type='plain', text=description),
            keywords=gdata.media.Keywords(text=keywords),
            category=gdata.media.Category(
                text=category,
                label=self.categories[category],
                scheme=self.CATEGORIES_SCHEME),
            private=(gdata.media.Private() if private else None),
            player=None)

But as I said I was unable to upload a video without category.
