So I want to make an app with my own custom menu, from where I can have access to my videos on youtube. I know how to link individual videos but I want to be able to update it with a back end or just by adding more videos to my youtube playlists and not have to fully patch my app to add more content. wondering how you all might suggest I go about doing this.

I wanted to make it so the user can load a video if they have the link to it, but not load the embed from the actual site itself. Can anybody help?
Reason: My school restricts YouTube videos if they are in a certain category. The example website above will soon be restricted, so I'm trying to recreate it.
Thanks in advance.
At my website, I am using the thumbnails of the videos listed at my YouTube channel. So the users of my website can click on the thumbnails and video start download automatically from YouTube channel. I tried many softwares and copied their download link and put to my website but after sometime the link didn't worked at all, may be because YouTube change some parameters in the URL.
So is there any way to offer one click direct download from YouTube, or any other like Vimeo, dailymotion,etc. I tried already the vimeo and I am able to get the direct download but the same problem as the url doesn't work after sometime on other ip, so my users are not able to download and they redirect to vimeo website.
I will appreciate if you could help me.
With YouTube it's absolutely not possible via the official API. There are certain third-party scripts in existence that may be able to download videos off YouTube anyways (cf. e.g. this SO question) but be advised that this is against the YouTube terms of service and thus illegal.
With Vimeo it's a little bit different, to my understanding. Video owners can opt to allow users to download their videos, but I think this is only through the player. Vimeo won't provide you with a download link, with this exception.
This is not what these services were designed for anyways. They are social media platforms, not video hosters.
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.

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.

But any help is welcome!

You can add it as a favourite, as Yuliy has said, or you can create yourself a channel, add a playlist to that channel, then add the video in a similar way to the playlist.
Doing it this way means you can 'see' it from the API(getplaylists, getplaylist)... But, if the original author decides to take the video down, then of course it will disappear from your channel page as well (or more likely say 'this video has been removed by the user').
You cant keep a 'copy' of the video like this.
