Accessing Recorded Date of a Youtube Video

[Somnath Banerjee]

Hello everyone,

I am trying to access the recorded date of a Youtube video.

I am using the following code segment:

GDataEntryYouTubeVideo *video = (GDataEntryYouTubeVideo *)entry;

NSString *videoURL = [[[video links] objectAtIndex: 0] href];

GDataYouTubeStatistics *stats = [video statistics];

GDataYouTubeRating *rating  = [video rating];

GDataDateTime *recordedDate = [video recordedDate];

Please note that the recordedDate either returns null or an incorrect date.

I have also tried publishedDate etc.  but no luck.

However, ratings (likes, dislikes), and stats(viewCount)  all return fine.

I must be doing something wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Best regards, Somnath

Have you compared the yt:recorded element in the XML from http logs with the value of the GDataDateTime response from the recordedDate method?

The presence or absence of the yt:recorded element is up to the YouTube API server; it is only an Objective-C library issue if it is not being translated properly to a GDataDateTime object.

http logging is described at

I have just checked in some changes to the top-of-trunk library sources that should improve how date-only (no time) GDataDateTime objects are converted to NSDates. They now are set to noon GMT, so the date should be correct for any time zone.

Since yt:recorded is a date-only element, this may improve the date you see in the video entry, for video entries where that element is returned by the server.

Greg,

Tried a few times.  No luck!

May be I am doing something wrong.

If you want I can send across by test project.

best regards, Somnath

This sounds like a Twitter-specific issue; the OAuth client software is not really involved while the sign-in page is being displayed.

Can you sign in with any other Twitter client applications that use OAuth?

What's the problem, were you not able to turn on logging?  A log should help us see what the problem is.

I think you crossed threads in your inbox.  ;)
