I have tried two methods to upload large files on YouTube but none of them works, each has its own issues, my aim is to find a correct answer to upload large files.
First Method:
It chunks the large files into different parts, and rather than sending them separately and upload them at once it uploads them separately. So at the end I have a long list of unloadable different parts of the file on Youtube rather than a single file.
Code of method 1
if ($client->getAccessToken()) {
$videoPath = "path/to/foo.mp4";
$snippet = new Google_VideoSnippet();
$snippet->setTitle("Test title2");
$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);
$chunkSizeBytes = 1 * 1024 * 1024;
$media = new Google_MediaFileUpload('video/mp4', null, true, $chunkSizeBytes);
$media->setFileSize(filesize($videoPath));
$result = $youtube->videos->insert("status,snippet", $video,
array('mediaUpload' => $media));
$status = false;
$handle = fopen($videoPath, "rb");
while (!$status && !feof($handle)) {
$chunk = fread($handle, $chunkSizeBytes);
$uploadStatus = $media->nextChunk($result, $chunk);
}
fclose($handle);
}
I found this question which its answer code is similar to google_mediaFileupload but I am not sure how to use it.
Second method
I am also trying to use resumable upload to upload them but when I use the following code it runs into following error:

}
?>
Error of method 2
{ "error": { "errors": [ { "domain": "global", "reason": "required", "message": "Login

Please note, I have given 50 bounty to one of the answers for solving one of the issues of the code. Although the problem is not completely solved yet.
