I wonder is there open android API for Youtube TV pairing.
As I know, we can control Youtube on TV or browser(www.youtube.com/tv) using Youtube on mobile or "Youtube remote" app in play store.
But to do this, we should pair Youtubes in TV(or browser) and mobile first.
I try to find some API related with paring or youtube paring application, but I can't.
Please let me know it is possible to use Youtube pairing API for android.
ex)API for generate pairing code.
If you're looking to build general "pairing" functionality, this can be done using something called "OAuth for Devices". You could add videos to a playlist which is being autocycled in a browser. A demo of this functionality is here, with source code for the sample app in Python here.

When I watch videos in the official youtube app on my Android device, I see the familiar cast icon in the toolbar, which sends the playing video to my chromecast.
I want to write my own app that uses the official youtube player API for Android. Playing with the Android samples (https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/sample-applications), I've noticed that the chromecast icon is missing.
What is the best way to add chromecast support to my app which uses YoutubePlayerView or YoutubePlayerFragment to play videos?
Well, if you want to use chromecast for the YouTube API, then you can start by knowing how to integrate Cast in an Android App. You will learn here the basic information that you need to know. Also, check this YouTube Android Player API to know how it is works.
I found here a demo that shows how to integrate YouTube APIs with Chromecast. It is designed for developers who are learning about the Chromecast SDK or YouTube APIs, or for those wishing to run a code lab on various Google technologies.
I'm having trouble finding documentation on Youtube's developer website whether there is an API for "Youtube for Devices" to send videos to set top boxes like the newer Tivos and similar players.
There is a feature in the Android app that allows a Youtube video to be played via the Tivo when you hit a button, similar to Chromecast.
I thought it might share an API with Chromecast in some way, but I tried the Chromecast extension on Google Chrome for Windows and it failed to detect the Tivo.
Is there an API for this, or is it a proprietary feature of the Youtube app?
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.
Here's my answer to original question: retrive only mobile-supported video from YouTube API
I am planning to develop an app for the windows phone.
In this app actually, I need some metadata from youtube for each user, especially the videos they like and their playlists on youtube.
But, as I started to google for it, I came across this news that youtube apis are not fully supported on windows phone.
http://www.infoworld.com/t/windows-phone/in-blocking-windows-phone-access-youtube-google-delivers-rough-justice-210116
So, I wanted to know whether this feature can be implemented in windows phone app or not?
GData APIs work just fine on WP7/WP8 AFAIK. IANAL but it works fine and I haven't seen any official disclaimer saying it won't/shouldn't work. I believe this article has more to do about streaming video APIs then GData APIs.
You can see a sample of those APIs and how to use them in the official docs and in this previous answer of mine # Possible to play Youtube video in a wp7 app?
You can get the user metadata using YouTube Data API v3.
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/playlists
from the documentation:
YouTube also uses playlists to identify special collections of videos
for a channel, such as:
uploaded videos
favorite videos
positively rated (liked) videos
watch history
watch later
The API can be consumed from any client, if you use any JSON library and OAUTH2 authentication.
This project shows how to do it;

I have the url video on youtube and I want to play the video in the youtube default application on the blackberry without invoking the browser to play
enter code here
I've never found a way to do this. The BlackBerry Invoke class does not have a constant defined for the Youtube app, which is what you can use to open other built-in apps.
I know this isn't what you'd prefer to do, but a couple other alternatives are:
open Youtube videos in the Browser, like this:
Browser.getDefaultSession().displayPage("http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ciB6ExQa5SM");
take a look at the BlackBerry Youtube Client sample, which would allow you to build an embedded Youtube player. A companion blog post can also be found here. Note: the sample probably won't display video in a simulator, as I think you need to have a valid cellular carrier setup (APN settings, etc.) for the network to allow youtube streaming.
