I want to play YouTube video when we redirect from internet area to non internet area.
Like I am having internet access at some point and I played Youtube video, and after some
times my internet connection is loosed, but now I want to play all those video which I played
previously.
I am not going to write any code for this but only tell you the route you probably need to take. As with any online media, If you don't have access to the internet, well you can't really get the data. What you need to do is capture the data which is coming in from any media and save it on the device. When the user then clicks on a video which has been previously saved while not connected to the internet, you can play the saved video file. There isn't really a simple quick way to do this, just do some research on saving streaming video or downloading video and saving to device.
I am not aware of any caching mechanism for a browser that could do that 'off the box'. This wouldn't make much sense anyway because the cache would get full with only a few videos.
The only way that comes to mind is to download the video of interest while connected and play it with your favorite media player. There's bound to be a few addons depending on the browser you use, I use VideoDownloadHelper for Firefox but for iPhone this blog seems to have some instructions.

Here's the needs: People record their video via my App and upload stream to our website, you know, like a live show.
When they are recording, the network goes bad, then record audio instead of video.
And when audience watch, first comes the video, in a certain time comes the audio with a static picture.
How am I supposed to do that? Thanks.
I got this after thinking. So I'll answer by my self.
If you wanna record video and audio separately. Use lower level Library to handle this. Then upload it. And you can get the upload speed, When the speed goes low, you can shut down the video upload process.
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 have a content management server application written in Java. A background process goes through a list of video ids and fetches the details for those video ids using Youtube API.
I would like to check if a particular video entry is available for mobile or not.
I checked syndicate allowed like
String videoEntryUrl = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/"+videoID;
VideoEntry videoEntry = service.getEntry(new URL(videoEntryUrl), VideoEntry.class);
if(!videoEntry.getXmlBlob().getBlob().contains("yt:accessControl permission='denied' action='syndicate'")){
System.out.println("The video is syndicatable");
}
Checking for syndicate still not solved the problem and the server still lets in videos that cannot play on Android phone.
What is the right way to filter only the videos that can be played on mobile?
There's no single check to see whether a video is playable "on mobile".
There are a variety of different reasons why a particular video might not be playable on a particular platform, and unfortunately the only way to be absolutely sure whether a particular video will play in a particular player is to attempt to play it.
That being said, this blog post goes into more details about the types of common playback restrictions that crop up: http://apiblog.youtube.com/2011/12/understanding-playback-restrictions.html
I've been asked to create a QR image that, on being scanned by a smartphone, will play a short 2-minute video. The video is currently in .mp4 format, but the format can change. The video playback works fine on iPhone however I'm having some problems with the BlackBerry Bold.
When the user scans the QR code the phone directs them to a URL. Right now the URL they are directed to is http://domain.com/video.mp4. However when the user attempts to access this page they get a 413 Error "Entity too large". Basically, too much is being pushed to the client.
Reading the BlackBerryForums.com.au thread titled "Request Entity Too Large", I see you need to increase the allowed request size. But the user is able to play YouTube videos perfectly fine on their blackberry! WHY? is the youtube video size smaller? What format is YouTube using? Why does YouTube work, when my method doesn't?
I know the obvious solution here is to use YouTube as a hoster and embed the video but I am told I cannot use this quick and easy solution.
The problem is that YouTube streams the video. What you're trying to do is get the user to download the whole video file.
You may need to get a streaming server so that the video can be played.
Alternatively, reduce the filesize of the file by reducing the video resolution and bitrate, make sure the sound is mono and low bitrate as well.
