RTSP youtube link

Question

I have gone all over google and am having trouble getting the rtsp link from a youtube video give the VIDEO_ID.

I am confused on how to use that id and then parse go

Answer 1

A short and simple way of getting the rtsp link, should be easily portable to any platform.

String video_id = "1FJHYqE0RDg";
String gdata = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/";
String youtube_response = Util.getUrlResponse(gdata+video_id); // just a simple HTTP GET
String rtsp_link = "rtsp:"+ StringUtils.split(StringUtils.split(youtube_response, "rtsp:")[1], ".3gp")[0] + ".3gp";
