I am trying to stream video from my webcam to YouTube using Xuggler and YouTube's live streaming API. I was successful in connecting to YouTube and in creating a broadcast by following the example provided here.
I used Xuggler to encode the videos and send it to YouTube using the code below. The steps for encoding the videos is taken from a post here.
I am not getting any error in my console when I run my program, but the stream is not going live in Youtube. In Youtube Live control room, it keeps showing a message that "We are not receiving data from your encoder. Please make sure it is configured correctly in the Ingestion Settings page."
What am I doing wrong? Any help or pointers will be highly appreciated...

String fileName = returnedStream.getCdn().getIngestionInfo().getStreamName() ;

containerFormat_live.setOutputFormat("flv", url + "/"+ fileName, null);
container.setInputBufferLength(0);
int retVal = container.open(url + "/"+ fileName, IContainer.Type.WRITE, containerFormat_live);
if (retVal < 0) {
System.err.println("Could not open output container for live stream");
System.exit(1);
