The coders reading this may scoff at me but hopefully someone will be kind enough to point me to the documentation that explains what the "restrict=gears" flag actually does?
Background: YouTube devs recently hid the bulk uploader from view. It's still working but there's no word, of course, on how long that will last. It can be found at: http://www.youtube.com/my_videos_multiupload You should see a banner there that explains that the uploader is being retired, and a link to a suggested "replacement" can be found at: http://upload.youtube.com/my_videos_upload?restrict=gears Some users are claiming that the "restrict=gears" flag is actually disabling gears, not forcing its use in concert with one of the "standard" uploaders -- uploaders that have not worked well for many users, especially those with iffy connections or tight security. I'd like to find some documentation for this flag, but my searches so far have come up empty. Thanks if you allow this message to reach others, and especially thanks in advance for any pointers that will lead to some sensible information on this question.
