I was using this url to embed our livestream in our website
https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel=CHANNEL_ID
Unfortunately it's not working anymore, I think it has been deprecated by YouTube :(
Any idea what is the alternative?
I want to avoid using the YouTube search API due to it's limitations, and the fact that the broadcast has to start so the API can find it.
Also I don't want to keep updating the url YouTube creates every time I start a stream...
Please help

I'm sending a get request to a link like this:
https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/search?part=snippet&channel_id=[MyChannelId]&type=video&eventType=live&key=[MyKey].
The purpose of it is to get the live events of a specific channel for which I provided its ID.
The problem is this does not work all the time.
When I go checking in YouTube, the channel is streaming, but I don't get any data through this link.
What are the possible mistakes that may cause this?
Or is it just a problem from their servers?
Is there an alternative reliable way?
I've found multiple links to embed YouTube livestreams across Stack:
https://www.youtube.com/embed/live_stream?channel={CHANNEL_ID}
https://www.youtube.com/channel/{ChannelID}/live
But no one works when I use my correct channel id. It looks like YouTube doesn't support permanent links for unlisted live streams anymore. Can anyone confirm this, or does it still exist?
Or can I use the YouTube API to know what the next Stream Now video id is going to be. That could also solve my problems. However, up until now I haven't found a way to retrieve this data.
P.s. Our stream must be UNLISTED. We don't want to stream publicly.

I know about how to play video in device. But Here I just want to know that is it possible to get streaming URL from any YouTube Video? Then how can I do it, I tried to search on google but I can not able to find my solution.
Generally I does not want to play direct stream from video, actually I want to save this URL (stream) in my buffer memory OR whatever temporary file and whenever user click on particular button then particular URL Stream is play.
Al Last I got YouTube APIs + iPhone = Cool mobile apps. But I am not sure that it's helpful in my case or not ? If anybody who worked on this API then please suggest me, Otherwise How can I get streaming URL.
Your suggestion will be appreciated.

This will not work on all files, some will display the message "This+video+contains+content+from.....". But many will work.
Is it possible to get streaming URL from any YouTube Video? - No, it is not possible without hurting the terms of service of youtube. Google has built the business model of youtube around the advertisements all over youtube, in-video banners and video ads and they want your user to see their ads. This is the reason they completely hide the video stream and would ban your app if you anyway access and stream it directly.
The only consented way to play youtube videos on iOS is to embed it into an iframe of a web view.
I am trying to add some youtube videos from my Admin page to database. So that mobile application can make use of them to play.
I want to filter the result from YouTube API link so that i can make sure that whatever videos i add to the database will be able to play on mobile devices like IOS and Android.
I tried
&format=5 and &format=1
but no use.
I also went through Youtube API v2.0 Docs but unable to find the correct way to assign fields parameter to my query string
can anyone guide me to fix this?
What you need is videoEmbeddable and videoSyndicated.
