[YouTube-API] Re: Malformed request

Hello,

As per http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/reference.html#YouTube_Category_List:

"In your Upload API request, the value of the <media:category> tag
must be set to the value of the <atom:category> tag's term attribute
for the corresponding category."

The value "Gaming" is the label attribute. The term attribute is
"Games". So you should be using "Games" instead.

Cheers,
