Uploading file with Youtube API v3 and PHP

Question

I'm trying to upload a file to youtube using the new api v3. Here's what I do...

public function upload(){

    if(isset($_FILES['userfile'])) {

        $snippet = new Google_VideoSnippet();

        $snippet->setTitle("Test v3");
        $snippet->setDescription("First upload using api v3");
        $snippet->setTags(array("api","v3"));

        $video = new Google_Video();
        $video->setSnippet($snippet);

            $response = $this->googleapi->youtube->videos->insert(
                "status,snippet",
                $video,
                array('data' => $_FILES['userfile']['tmp_name'])
                );

            var_dump($response);

  }else{
    $this->load->view('youtube');
  }
}

The response is empty, because io/Google_REST.php throws

'Undefined index: errors' at line 70

which is within decodeHttpResponse(),

however, a dump from the actual response of Google_Client::$io->makeRequest() returns the following...

object(Google_HttpRequest)#31 (10) { ["batchHeaders":"Google_HttpRequest":private]=>  
array(4) { ["Content-Type"]=>  string(16) "application/http" ["Content-Transfer-Encoding"]=>

"message": null } } " ["accessKey"]=>  NULL }

Any help moving forwards with this would be greatly appreciated.

I haven't attempted a PHP upload yet, so this is mainly general advice. First, video.snippet.categoryId is mandatory when performing uploads. Second, if you pass part="snippet,status" to the API, then you need to set both the video.snippet properties (which you are) and video.status properties (which you're not). You can get by with leaving out status and just using part="snippet" if you'd like. — Jeff Posnick, Dec 28 '12 at 02:13

Read example between "this is the work in action!" and "end Work!":

<?php
@session_start();

if(!isset($_SESSION['google']))
    $_SESSION['google'] = array('state'=> null, 'token'=> null);

#include core google
set_include_path(get_include_path() . PATH_SEPARATOR . '/Google');
require_once  'Google/autoload.php';

$redirectUri = 'http://127.0.0.1/myPathWork/index.php';

##set client:
$client = new Google_Client();
$client->setApplicationName('myAppName');
$client->setClientId('myClientId');

$client->setScopes(array(
                    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube',

                    'https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube.upload', 
                ));

    if (strval($_SESSION['google']['state']) !== strval($_GET['state']))
      exit('The session state did not match.');

    $client->authenticate($_GET['code']);
    $_SESSION['google']['token'] = $client->getAccessToken();
    header('location:'. $redirectUri);  
}

if(isset($_SESSION['google']['token']))
    $client->setAccessToken($_SESSION['google']['token']); # este es el key

           else

            #show more print_r($status['snippet']);
        }

      $client->setDefer(false);
      #end Work!  
    }
    catch (Google_ServiceException $e) {
      exit('Error:' . htmlspecialchars($e->getMessage()));
    }
    catch (Google_Exception $e) {

    $state = mt_rand();
