How to find a youtube channel with a private video url only? - youtube

I'm trying to open a .rar file but it has password and it's in the description of a video on Youtube but when I checked the link again it was private and I don't remember the channel's name, so I just want to know if there's a way to find this channel because I just wanna ask to the user if I could have the password. This is the url if it helps, thanks.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6rTPvftDHtQ

I typed "6rTPvftDHtQ" on Google in order to have only webpages containing exactly 6rTPvftDHtQ.
I let you find more details about the other interesting result except this StackOverflow post. The video gaming creator Mataraxu posted the URL of the video as a comment of a Facebook post and the post shares this YouTube channel URL https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC1OnhcSrtZcaI4cgKAfsxsw. If he isn't the man you are looking for, I let you ask him more details.
I WebArchived the webpage from the Google cache because his Facebook webpage doesn't seem to contain anymore this post (and comment), I let you delve this result.
By the way don't hesitate to check your web-browser history as you said that you already went to the video webpage. Maybe with luck you also went on the main webpage of the YouTube channel and then in the URL you would have its name or id.

As far as I know there is no way to do that. One hope would be the waybackmachine, but that has no snapshot of this video page either. So unfortunately you won't be able to search him I guess.
Best Regards!

YouTube data API change video id

I need to change video I'd, so the URL got changed. Is it possible? As far as I can see from docs - its not supported... So is there any other way to change video URL programmatically?
Example:
When I uploaded video i received URL: youtube.com/watch?v=EMSGJdnDN8U Now (next day) I want to keep uploaded video on server, but i don't want URL youtube.com/watch?v=EMSGJdnDN8U to be available anymore, but the original video should be available on youtube.com/watch?=nEwUrL100500 (new url) and so on...
Of course I know that i can reupload video and delete original one but i dont like that solution.
Sorry, I don’t think so. The video id is a very important identifier for YouTube and it’s very unlikely that they give you control over it.

How to get video id from new share url pattern

I see YouTube app updated new function to share videos with the url like this:
https://www.youtube.com/shared?ci=8A940MXKFmQ
My app is using YouTube API/videos/list to get video informations and it required the Video ID field.
How can we get youtube video id from the url above.
Thanks
This is maybe not a good way to do it, but since there seems to be no API for that, check this:
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/commit/4080530624eda994d535e1a01c38ddd6d9aa3805
What they do is fetching the content and search for the meta tag with the name videoId. Again: Not a good way, maybe this approach stops working in a month or a year or maybe never.

How are urls like this created? (googlevideo.com)

https://r9---sn-a5m7lnel.googlevideo.com/videoplayback?id=c815cbfeddf16cb0&itag=18&source=webdrive&begin=0&requiressl=yes&mm=30&mn=sn-a5m7lnel&ms=nxu&mv=m&nh=IgpwcjAyLmxheDE2KgkxMjcuMC4wLjE&pl=19&mime=video/mp4&lmt=1458651337361788&mt=1460326877&ip=0.0.0.0&ipbits=8&expire=1460355737&sparams=ip,ipbits,expire,id,itag,source,requiressl,mm,mn,ms,mv,nh,pl,mime,lm​t&signature=6BC2EA4F643071A5FACCFD9413B48FC1DCB53710.387DCD60FD8900AE04010A993​EDFF340D2A67406&key=ck2
This URL is a "direct" link to a video. I'm unsure how these URLs are handled and how they came to be. I assumed it was from Google Drive or Google Photos, but I can't seem to get the same URL format from a quick video I uploaded onto Google Drive/Photo.
Does anyone know how this URL is generated and maintained?
If you go to your normal video link–URL with the format https://drive.google.com/file/d/XXXXID/view/, you can right click twice in a row and click "Copy Video Address", and it will get you the link in that format.
Note that these links are temporary and IP-locked, so it won't work forever or on another device.

Share URL similar to Facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u= but for Houzz

I'm working with Adobe DPS buttons and currently have set up Facebook and Twitter sharing with them. The buttons take a URL and when clicked pull up the share dialogue.
The Facebook taking the following
http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=(encoded url goes here)
The encoded url being whatever I want to share.
I want to be able to do this with Houzz.
I've found the page on Houzz.com but I don't think I would be able to use this type of URL share option based on what they provided.
http://www.houzz.com/buttonsAndBadges#houzzbutton
Has anyone seen an option for Houzz similar to Facebook's?
After digging through Houzz's bookmarklet, I've found their somewhat difficult-to-pin-down sharer URL.
http://www.houzz.com/imageClipperUpload?imageUrl=(IMAGE-URL-HERE)&title=(PAGE-TITLE-HERE)&link=(PAGE-URL-HERE)
Just as a quick reminder: an image URL is required (unlike Facebook or Twitter, but somewhat like Pinterest) as one of the main points of Houzz is image sharing/scrapbooking.
I hope this helped someone!

instagram iphone hooks MEDIA ID?

I want to open instagram with the picture from my app.
In their API
it says to use the MEDIA ID. I am unaware of a media ID. I know of Asset Representation URL form the ALasset library. Does anyone know what they are refering to?
The media ID comes from the Instagram API for the media that was uploaded to instagram. Usually something on the lines like 448979387270691659_45818965. I believe you can grab it in the browser if you go to the media view in your browser and then use developer tools to see the atttribute
