Hello, this is not really a BUG, but it was very difficult to track down and could be implemented and/or documented more clearly.
To upload a video as unlisted, the youtube_it call is:
vid = client.video_upload(File.open("myvideo.mp4"), :title => "My Video Title", :list=>'denied')
For private videos the option is :private => true. Everywhere in the YouTube API I see reference to one option privacyStatus that can be public, private, or unlisted. Finally found this solution after much googling about the YouTube API which revealed the yt:accessControl action="list" permission="denied" in the video XML resource, and browsing the youtube_it code that constructs the XML.
At the very least, this is now documented somewhere for someone else to find it :-)
