PS3 Upload to youtube

[Ephyr]

I know there's been a few threads in the past on this but the only conclusion I found from browsing was that only accounts without google+ integration could use the feature and I apologize in advance if I'm wrong about this but didn't youtube recently make it so that even legacy accounts (the one's made before google+) now have to use google+? In which case, I was wondering how it's possible for some of you to still be uploading directly from the game.

I haven't gotten the google+ error yet, instead it tells me that my username/password is wrong despite me trying everything you would class as a 'username' on the current youtube. So far I've tried using - the email address of the youtube account, the display name (doesn't have any spaces), the code thing at the end of the channel url or userid whatever it's called and the channelID (I think that's what the other one is called).

If this has already been solved on a thread I apologize, the only ones I could find were only a couple months outdated but I know youtube's changed alot in the recent months.

Thanks in advance guys.

You're right that profiles without Google+ work with this feature; however, since you're asked to make a Google+ page whenever you log on to Youtube every once in a while, disconnecting the ability to attach one to your profile is what makes it work.

As for the other problem you mentioned, Google have beefed up their security. If you have a Gmail account attached to your profile, open that account and there should be a message regarding a sign-in attempt being blocked, where it gives you links if the attempt was not from you or it was.

Click the link in the latter option (meaning it was from you) that talks about allowing "Less Secure Apps". An additional page should pop up that will have the simple option of turning on or off less secure apps. Just turn on the option when you're uploading videos and off when you're not. You'll get messages about that option being turned on every time you do, but you can use those messages as an easier way to access the page.

I hope this helps.

Okay that explains a tonne, thank you.
So is it still possible to detach google+ from an existing account or make a new account without google+ integration?
I enabled access from less secure apps but not sure what I should use for the 'username' field, I'll check my email now and see if I have the blocked login attempt email.

Thanks a bunch for all the detail pal, didn't expect such a thorough reply.

It's impossible to make a new YT account without being asked about making a Google+ page (Google working together with Youtube being the reason). You can allow it, but then you can disconnect it afterwards.

The way you would do that is going to the 'Creator Studio' of your profile (available after you click on your profile picture on the upper-right side of the screen), then click 'Channel', then 'Advanced'. The ability to disconnect the Google+ page is located under 'Account Information'.

As for what to add after allowing less secure apps, just type in your email and password to that particular YT account when you're prompted to do so. It should work after that.

Thanks again for the reply!

I've checked on 3 of my current Youtube accounts and the option doesn't seem to be there.
I'm going to create a new account, allow it create a page and then try and disconnect it. I tried deleting the Google+ page from the Page Settings but it couldn't be deleted as it was linked to the youtube channel, it presented it me with two links, one for disconnect and one for delete. I followed the disconnect link but it just lead to the account settings page of my Youtube channel and there still didn't seem to be any option to disconnect it there.

I fixed the invalid username problem using the emails like you said, so that's one problem solved, thanks for that. Now I just keep running into the dreaded 'error 8002d001'.

Crap, my bad.

It's actually under 'Youtube Settings'. In the same area where you would the 'Creator' Studio button, and literally next to it.
Click on that and you should find it.
