Is there a good way to authenticate youtube? The GData stuff I've found was janky at best. It worked on a newly created account, but didn't work on my age old pre-acquisition account

That's not really a GData issue. I think GData ClientLogin no longer works for YouTube accounts that are not linked to a Google account. AuthSub or OAuth should still work though.
