Hoe to: Google Video Uploader jar file

[notos]

Google Video uploader is a progran that lets you upload videos to google server that can be found in http://video.google.com

in google video help page is no tutorial on how to install this :( so i used google to search for help and these are the results :)

note: you can see the how to install Java run time you _NEED_ Java Runtime 1.4.x or superior :) in http://ubuntuguide.org

You also need to have a google account to login
First we neeed to grab a copy of the Jar File

wget https://upload.video.google.com/dllin

is this stops to work you can dowload from here (https://upload.video.google.com/video_instructions.html#downloadinglinux)

now you must have a file named GoogleVideoUploader.jar
make this in a terminal


mv Google*.jar /opt


You can now run on terminal this

java -jar /opt/GoogleVideoUploader.jar

If you didn't install JRE through the repositories, and instead installed it using the instructions on the java website, that you can run the .jar file by doing:

/usr/java/jre1.5.0_06/bin/java -jar /opt/GoogleVideoUploader.jar

I have everything installed fine, but I can't seem to log in. I am behind a proxy, but java is set up for that. it just says "logging in to....as...." forever.

nice title, nice quick 'HoeTo' also :D

[bcmiller]

thank you...

the process in the first post worked for me with the latest version of the google uploader and Hardy Heron.

Yeah for consistency!

I then made a launcher for the uploader and put it in the Sound and Video category.

Great tip, that finally works! :guitar:
Been struggling with that one. Didn't know if it's because I have installed both IcedTea and Sun Java.
Anyway that did the trick for me.

Then I just created a new entry in my menu and added java -jar /opt/GoogleVideoUploader.jar to the command line. Now I can launch it from my Internet application menu.
