Continuous Uploads

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Version youtube-upload 0.7.3

Is there way to add a option to upload without a title, and use the file name 
as a title by default, and then allow the script to upload multiple files in a 
single directory? That way the user can upload multiple files with one command, 
and use crontab to run the upload whenever they would like:

i.e.

youtube-upload \  --email=my@gmail.com --password=mypw \  --category=People 
--keywords="test" /mydirectory/*.MP4

*.MP4 would upload all .MP4 files in /mydirectory/ until it has completed all 
uploads.

I'd prefer to keep the command interface clean, one command per upload. 
Instead, you can use the tools UNIX provides, which are very powerful. For 
example this simple bash script should do the job:

{{{
find some_directory -name '*.mp4' | while read FILE; do
  TITLE=$(basename "${FILE%\.*}")
  youtube-upload --title "$TITLE" .... "$FILE"
end
}}}
