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

I have made a player with hls.js in web but when integrating it in a webview in flutter I have problems to handle the different qualities of the video in safari iOS. This is because Hls.isSupported() is false. So I have to use the native browser to play the .m3u8 file with the video tag.
The issue is that I can't handle the different qualities that I have in the playlist (.m3u8). There must be some way to handle such qualities in safari or iOS because youtube does allow it.
I believe this is not possible.
See this comment which I think suggests that it is not possible to have manual quality selection and access to metadata and manifest tag attributes when using the browser's native HLS implementation (i.e. without HLS.js).
Also see this GitHub issue.
Also see this answer to a similar question.
For reference, also see Embedding HLS.js in the official docs.
I know this question seems to have been asked before, but it apparently hasn't (at least on stack overflow). I get the following error using Youtube iOS helper api for certain videos when I attempt to embed them in my iOS app.
"This video contains content from VEVO. It is restricted from playback on certain sites."
The error below is fairly self explanatory... and it appears that there is nothing you can do about it. I can live with that. But there is more to it.
The reason I am puzzled by this message (and it refers to any VEVO music video on Youtube) is that the videos play on Android. Someone else has also had this problem... stated here: https://github.com/youtube/youtube-ios-player-helper/issues/52
If there is a restriction on other sites - and there may well be - it should be restricted on both iOS and Android devices. I find it highly odd that the restriction applies to only iOS.
Can someone advise?
Cheers!
add this in your playerVars #"origin" :#"http://www.youtube.com" it will work. I had the same problem.. i solved it using playvars
According to this answer,
...iOS devices use iframe so they basically embed. Android devices that
use player API can check syndicated.
From the documentation: if a video is embeddable, it can be embedded into a webpage, and if it is syndicated, it can be played outside of youtube.com.
A video that is embeddable but not syndicatable will play on YouTube.com or on other sites that embed the YouTube player, but may not play on devices such as mobile phones or TVs (source). Therefore, if a video plays on Android but not on iOS, it's possible that it's syndicateable but not embeddable, in which case it's working as intended.
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 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.
