I am posting youtube videos using Youtube v3 API.
I convert my .mp4 video files to a readable stream and upload it using the /insert endpoint.
I was wondering what other them .mp4 video types can I upload to youtube by converting them to a readable stream.
I have posted several .mp4 videos but want to what else mimetypes does it support.
The documentation says videos.insert
Accepted Media MIME types: video/*, application/octet-stream
So I would assume all of these are supported.

Is the functionality of setting a video as a Premiere available in the API? Either on Upload or an Existing video
Setting a video as a premiere has been available for a good while now: https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/9080341?hl=en
It's not defined in the API documentation, and the ability to read if a video is a premiere is a bit fuzzy. Ref: Finding premieres through Youtube API and How to identify if a video is a Premiere? ...via the YouTube API
I can send the same settings to read videos as a premiere to the API, but the end result isn't a Premiere. Am I missing something?
I want to write an API using which I can download selected videos to n number of devices.
Is there any API from youtube as such?
Downloading YouTube videos using the API is against their Terms of Service.
However, based from this comment, try the youtube-dl that is written in Python which you may use for downloading a YouTube video given its URL.
Here's another reference:
Youtube API for video download
Downloading videos from YouTube is against the YouTube EULA.
You can use third part apps clive, it is a command line tool. Hope it helps you.
You can also use ffmpeg in addition to convert different format from flv or mp4 that you download from youtube.
I understand that youtube provide player API's for android/IOS and web. However I would like to play youtube videos with in my application which is written in C++ using gstreamer. In order to stream a video I need to have a RTSP url for the video. However I could not find any official documentation on that in you tube developer documentation. Is this something that is officially supported by youtube?
My product is a media player box without a browser supports. Our YouTube application on the box used to use v2 to retrieve videos's url links with mp4 formats to make a playback:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VIDEO_ID?format=3
Recently, all video links using this method direct me to a warning video, saying that I need to migrate to v3.
I study the v3 but cannot find a way to retrieve the video links.
How can I supposed to play YouTube videos without a browser on my box?
Are there any official ways?

You'll have to use a flash media encoder and rtmp streamer. I used ffmpeg libraries for both and worked fine.
