Is there a way to get the youtube video without the youtube player? The youtube player sdk - https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
uses the existing youtube player, I need the url that it uses to play the video, so that I can use my custom video player. More of using youtube as a hosting service, where I can pull the videos from the server from which youtube player pulls it. Don't know if it is possible or legal.

Can I use youtube player to play my own videos?
Say I have a localhost running and I have some video files stored and I have a html code that has Youtube player's code and I can specify something like
<src="localhost/videos/cat.avi">
And it plays cat.avi on my browser just like youtube player.
No - you can't play local videos using youtube player.
If you want to play them you'll need to upload them to youtube.com.

I am using the YouTube ActionScript 3.0 API, the Chromeless Player to embed a YouTube video from a YouTube Channel in a Flash Ad.
So, once the Ad has been served, I want to know if I will have data in YouTube Analytics for the video embeded.
I have made some trials but I´m not sure about the results. Maybe the Player must be user initiated to have stats
By now the data I am really interested to have in YouTube Analytics are:
- Playback locations
- Traffic Sources

In my app I have played a youtube video by embedding it, but how can i only play the audio of the video? I tried using AVAudioPlayer and use the videos url as the file path but it didnt work, any help?
No it is not possible, only one workaround is just to use a hidden UIWebView and play in that.
Youtube forbids playing audio only! here is the message from youtube
Your API Client will not, and You will not encourage or create functionality for Your users or other third parties to: "separate, isolate, or modify the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API"

I built my own flash movie player. now I want to consume youtube videos and play them in my own flash player, so that the end user does not see any indication that the videos are housed on youtube. Does the youtube api allow me to do this?
I'm using vlc plugin into C# Windows form application. It works fine with all media type but it can't play youtube videos through the plugin also it can be played in the main player itself. I'm using the following code :
axVLCPlugin2.playlist.add("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BxPtmLmqdXU");
axVLCPlugin2.playlist.play();
How the could should be to be able to play youtube videos ?
You are specifying the URL of the youtube web page, not of the video itself. You need to get the URL of the video itself and specify that. There are many web pages that allow you to extract the URL of the video, given a youtube page URL, like:
