Can anyone please tell me which player is used in the McTube App?
Because I want to implement the same in my app.
Till now, I am playing in UIWebView but as my client suggested the player looks same as in McTube App.
The player looks like this
I tried by using LBYouTubeParser and HCYoutubeParser by using that some videos are not playing.. it is failing to play. I posted the comment for this also, maximum people are facing this problem too. https://github.com/hellozimi/HCYoutubeParser/issues/19#issuecomment-27281247
Thanks in Advance.
I think you are asking about how to parse YouTube video URL, not what player to use.
The reason why LBYouTubeParser & HCYouTubeParser aren't playing all videos is because YouTube protects some videos from being extracted by encrypting their signature (clear in VEVO videos).
the encrypted signature is found as s=.... instead of sig=....
To successfully extract the URL, you have to analyse YouTube code (html & javascript) to discover how they decrypt the signature.
Note that the decryption function changes every now & then, so you have to track their changes.
Some other javascript functions already does that, this is one of them, you can check it & do the same :)

I'm trying to show on my webpage a video from twilio that was recorded.
The REST call that I made from twilio (get composition) returns a binary file and I want to use it to show the video.
I can't use the url from twilio directly to the video src because it needs authentication and I do it on the back-end.
I can do it using the binary and encoding it to base64, the problem is that for large videos the webpage has a lazy load due to the download of the large file.
Also, I don't have the binary locally in my server, and therefore I'm getting the binary each time I need to see the video.
Can anyone help me to know how is the best way to show the video and to make it possible to be load by chunks with buffering? Because I can create a webpage that only downloads the binary and use it directly on the src of the video too, but with that I can't return x seconds back on the video or foward, I can only see it from the beggining to the end without missing anything.
Many thanks for the help :)
Twilio developer evangelist here.
I'd recommend that you download the video and store it yourself under a URL that you can set in a <video> element. That will save you downloading the video from Twilio each time and give you the control over the playback.
I am using this library https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper
in my project. The player works well if I use the video Id given by the sample (M7lc1UVf-VE). If I use the video Id from r random video on youtube it shows:
An error occurred, please try again later. Learn More
Do I need to enable a youtube data API or something like that???
cause I see another IOS Youtube helper needs to do so.
https://github.com/youtube/yt-direct-lite-iOS
Thanks.
add this in your playerVars #"origin" :#"http://www.youtube.com" it will work.
If you only want to play youtube video, no API access is needed.
I work on with this library without any error, did you replace "M7lc1UVf-VE" with the correct video id?
I am working on an app, where I am required to play the youtube's Audio and Video as well.
I am able to PLay video Using "XCDYouTubeVideoPlayerViewController" available on cocoa controls. (I am getting Youtube url from the backend)
Is there any way , where I can play audio also only inside my app. Because I checked over Internet and stackoverflow, but Couldn't find anything working.
And Is there any way, where the Video or audio can be played at the Back gorund , i.e when I press Home button the vidoe/audio keeps on playing.
All I fund on stack overflow is, that its forbidden, and the chances are your app will be blocked.
Please help, Thanks Again.
Youtube doesn't encourage audio only! here's what they have to say about this.
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" -Kuan Yong, YouTube API Team
However there's a hacky workaround workaround whereby you can use a hidden UIWebView and play in that.
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.
Thanks in advance.

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 using a Phonegap plugin for playing a video in my iOS app. I'm able to play a video with the URL format like http://easyhtml5video.com/images/happyfit2.mp4.
How do I play Youtube videos using the phonegap-videoplayer-plugin?
YouTube Terms of Service: "You agree not to access Content
through any technology or means other than the video playback pages of
the Service itself, the Embeddable Player, or other explicitly
authorized means YouTube may designate."
There are some methods that will give you direct link to youtube videos. Use "gdata" option to find all possible video formats.
Then parse the result to get desired link. Hope this might be useful
But everywhere I found the code to be edited in .m and .h files. None have explained how to use it.
That's because you can only directly use MPMoviePlayerController from native apps (written in Objective-C). For any other technology you'll have to have an intermediary layer in between.
From googling, I found this plugin for PhoneGap that claims to integrate with MPMoviePlayerController. I've no idea if it's any good, but it might do as a starting point.
try to give the youtube url in this format.

You will get the desired result. But Autoplay is not enabled, as Apple stopped supporting autoplay to save user's bandwidth
