[YouTube-API] Re: Can't get the YouTubeSample App to get authorized.

Hello,

Are you logging in with a Google Account that's not linked to a
YouTube account? That would result in a 401 response, and the
workaround for the time being is to link a new or existing YouTube
account to your Google Account. You could do this from

http://www.youtube.com/create_account

Cheers,
