How To Get the ID for Uploaded Video to YouTube Using Resumable Upload

Question

I am using Async ResumableUpload to upload videos to YouTube however I have not been able to retrieve the VideoID for the successfully uploaded video. This was very easy for the single Sync uploads but I have been unable to find any examples for the Async.

Here's the code:

        var mResumableUploader = new ResumableUploader(chunkSize);
        mResumableUploader.AsyncOperationCompleted += MResumableUploaderAsyncOperationCompleted;
        mResumableUploader.AsyncOperationProgress += MResumableUploaderAsyncOperationProgress;

        var youTubeAuthenticator = new ClientLoginAuthenticator(appName, ServiceNames.YouTube, uName, passWord);
        youTubeAuthenticator.DeveloperKey = devKey;

        newVideo = new Video();

        newVideo.Title = "video";
        newVideo.Tags.Add(new MediaCategory("Entertainment", YouTubeNameTable.CategorySchema));
        newVideo.Keywords = "video";
        newVideo.Description = "video";
        newVideo.YouTubeEntry.Private = false;
        newVideo.YouTubeEntry.MediaSource = new MediaFileSource(fileName, fileContType);

        var link = new AtomLink("http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/resumable/feeds/api/users/default/uploads");
        link.Rel = ResumableUploader.CreateMediaRelation;
        newVideo.YouTubeEntry.Links.Add(link);

        Console.WriteLine("Starting upload: ");
        mResumableUploader.InsertAsync(youTubeAuthenticator, newVideo.YouTubeEntry, "inserter");

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.

As shown on google data provided samples you can parse the video after the upload process is completed. Regards

        ru.AsyncOperationCompleted += new AsyncOperationCompletedEventHandler(ru_AsyncOperationCompleted);

void ru_AsyncOperationCompleted(object sender, AsyncOperationCompletedEventArgs e)
        {

            //upload complete
            YouTubeRequestSettings ytSettings = new YouTubeRequestSettings("myApp", googleDevKey, ytUsername, ytPassword);
            Video v = ytRequest.ParseVideo(e.ResponseStream);
            string videoId = v.VideoId;
            string watchPage = v.WatchPage.ToString();

        }
