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

I found this blog entry, maybe its a starting point. If you follow on of the <id> links you get another format where you should find the rtsp link.

EDIT: after going through what WarrenFaith posted. PROPS TO HIM

this is how you get a rtsp link.

1. make a request
   • http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/VIDEO_ID
2. parse that data for the 3gp content
   • It also provides you with the rating and all that good stuff that you may want.

hope that helps you guys

Answer 2

without a program if u want to fetch a YOUTUBE RTSP link then

1. GO TO www.youtube.com

2. select the video whose rtsp link u want....

3. go to the url of that video.....

4. fetch the id from the url i.e. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6acRHWnfZAE ((the id of the starts from "=" and goes upto the end... in the above case 6acRHWnfZAE is the id of the video in the example

5. now open http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/ and after this url paste the id of your video......

6. a page will open

7. now search for the media:content in that page there will be atleast 3 attribute one will be HTTP n the other two will be rtsp (format 1 n format 6); as per my experience format 1 is only for video,,,, n format 6 is for audio n video both

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";
