Answer 1

Read documentation at Youtube Data Api

    $playlistId = 'REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_PLAYLIST_ID_STARTS_WITH_PL';
    $resourceId = new Google_Service_YouTube_ResourceId();
    $resourceId->setVideoId('REPLACE_WITH_VIDEO_ID_YOU_WANT_TO_ADD');
    $resourceId->setKind('youtube#video');


    $playlistItemSnippet = new Google_Service_YouTube_PlaylistItemSnippet();
    $playlistItemSnippet->setTitle('YOUR_VIDEO_TITLE');
    $playlistItemSnippet->setPlaylistId($playlistId);
    $playlistItemSnippet->setResourceId($resourceId);


    $playlistItem = new Google_Service_YouTube_PlaylistItem();
    $playlistItem->setSnippet($playlistItemSnippet);
    $playlistItemResponse = $youtube->playlistItems->insert(
        'snippet,contentDetails', $playlistItem, array());</i>

Answer 2

Your resourceId isn't complete, as it doesn't identify to the API how to interpret the videoId parameter. Try setting the kind attribute of the resourceId, like this:

  "snippet": {
    "playlistId": "PL8hD12HFC-nuswc21_e64aPAy9B25sEH7",
    "resourceId": {
      "kind": "youtube#video",
      "videoId": "KMGuyGY5gvY"
    }
  }

That way, the API will know in which 'domain' (so to speak) to locate the resource identified by the string you send in.

Answer 3

this will help constructing resourceID

def add_video_to_playlist(videoID,playlistID):
    youtube = get_authenticated_service() #write it yourself
    add_video_request=youtube.playlistItems().insert(
        part="snippet",
        body={
                'snippet': {
                  'playlistId': playlistID, 
                  'resourceId': {
                          'kind': 'youtube#video',
                      'videoId': videoID
                    }
                #'position': 0
                }
        }
    ).execute()
