[YouTube-API] Re: Live API - Turn off Archiving

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for your response. I was able to successfully set the archived
flag in a POST (not patch) request to the live event URL (/live/
events). I was missing the <content> parent element of the child entry
(live video entry?). Here was the body of my request:

<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>
<entry xmlns='http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom'
xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/'
xmlns:yt='http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007'>
<title>Test</title>
<summary>Test Summary</summary>
<yt:when start="{insert time here}">
<content type='application/atom+xml'>
<entry>
<yt:archived>false</yt:archived>
<yt:cdn name='primary'>
<media:content yt:format='18'/>
</yt:cdn>
</entry>
</content>
</entry>

I was also able to set this through PUT requests. Please note that if
you want to set this through a PUT, you will be required to specify
<yt:cdn> infomration for it to be valid. This was NOT required for the
POST request (create). For more information on the yt:format values
(240p, 360p, 480p), check out this link.

I hope this helps someone else!

Daniel

PS. I did no testing on PATCH requests.
