Problem with some characters in the filename

[IanBrown]

Hi!

Are there any restrictions on a name of the file to be uploaded? I've
caught
"System.ArgumentException: Specified value has invalid Control
characters" trying to to upload one Chinese video. In particular, the
problem is raised if "世" symbol presents (sorry don't know for sure
what does it mean). No problem with other eastern language symbols. Is
it a bug or a restriction?

Hi,

Try to pass your "title" by using Encodinig.UTF8.GetBytes("Title");
I hope, it will work for you...

Tell me if it is working properly...

Hi Chetan!

Sincere thanks for your reply!
Some details to clarify the situation. The problem isn't in my
particular implementation as I thought at first. The same error occurs
in the Google SDK YouTubeUploader (if the file name contains "世").
As a workaround is concerned. There is some difficulty in
straightforward implementation of your advice in my case. I use
ResumableUpload component and have the following code:
Google.YouTube.Video v = new Video();
v.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("C:\世test.flv");

One more 'problematic' symbol - "清". Files containing these characters
_can_ be uploaded via browser, but not using .NET GData client
library.
The exact error looks like that:

System.ArgumentException: Specified value has invalid Control

characters. Parameter name: value
at System.Net.WebHeaderCollection.CheckBadChars(String name,
Boolean isHeaderValue)
at System.Net.WebHeaderCollection.Add(String header)
at
Google.GData.Client.ResumableUpload.ResumableUploader.PrepareRequest(Uri
target, String slug, String contentType, Int64 contentLength)

Hi Ian,

I found something which might be help you.
See the developer's guid :
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_dotnet.html
//----------------------------------------------

Google.YouTube.Video v = new Video();

v.Title
=Encodinig.UTF8.GetBytes(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension("C:\世
test.flv"));

v.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource("C:\世test.flv");

Video createdVideo = request.Upload(v);
//----------------------------------------------
Let me know whether it is working or not after applying this change.

Ragads,
