Has anyone found a way to easily embed ustream video within a iphone or ipad app? I have sent emails to the ustream support, but no response. I really dont want to run through ffmpeg or anything.
The easiest way is by just opening the embed URL (e.g. http://www.ustream.tv/embed/10638475) using a UIWebView. This will use HTTP Live Streaming on iOS.
Alternatively you can use a URL like http://iphone-streaming.ustream.tv/uhls/10638475/streams/live/iphone/playlist.m3u8 to initiate an AVPlayerItem and use an AVPlayer and AVPlayerLayer to play the stream within the app's UI (very useful if you don't want it to be full screen).
Try:
<iframe id="UstreamIframe" src="http://www.ustream.tv/embed/10638475"></iframe>

I'm building a swift3 app that plays Youtube videos using YTH for ios and I want to know if it supports chromecast, if so, how can I enable it?
If not, what should I use?
Not sure whether YTH supports chrome cast or not, but you can always cast content from your app to chromecast.
All you need is the media url which will be used as content id on receiver app.
So basically, you can follow the standard implementation of chromecast integration. And after that when you are building media information, use your youtube video's url as content id and try casting that.
You cannot use https url. It won't be able to play. I have the same issue but I saw that the Chromecast only works with http url. So you have to make a local http url and make that allowable from your device.
I want to use video from some live streaming channel i.e. twitch, youtube in my iOS application without using their plugins. How can i do so?
I'm trying to get url of the video so that i can play it via moviePlayer or something else in my application. At the moment, i'm using OBS for uploading the live-stream on twitch.tv
I've found the following link, but again i'm unable to find the url of the video so can't use the solution mentioned How can I use Livestream player in iOS/Android app?
Thanks,
I have solved the issue using webView. For Youtube we've stream id and we put it in url as "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=videoId".
For ustream i made url as "https://www.ustream.tv/embed/channelId".
If you don't want to use webView then you can use helper libraries for these platforms i.e. YTPlayer, twitch etc.
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 writing application to show youtube videos.
In WPF on windows 7 I use WebBrowser control and it works fine. But when I use WinRT WebView control to show swf file from youtube - it doesn't work. Only clear white screen.
I use approach like that : http://blog.tedd.no/2010/06/27/embedding-youtube-in-wpf-webbrowser-control/
What shall I do to have an oppotunity to show videos in Metro Style Application?
Thank you
try this one from the mytoolkit library: http://mytoolkit.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=YouTube
The default youtube video player (unless the user has opted into the HTML5 preview) is a Flash video control. Flash is not supported in the Windows Application Store ("Metro") shell version of IE, or in the WebView control.
But what you can do is request youtube to use the HTML5 video player (HTML5 video is supported by the App Store version of IE and WebView). For example, this video does play properly for me:
<WebView Source="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cTl3U6aSd2w&html5=True" />
So you should be able to embed a video using a webview, you just have to force the webview to use the HTML5 viewer. This can also be done as a parameter to the embed URL: see Force HTML5 youtube video
However, this setting only says to prefer the HTML5 player. Youtube may still attempt to use the flash player on some videos, which will not work in all cases.
You can alternatively also play the video through "mediaelement" to play youtube video, though you'd have to parse the youtube video stream first. See my W8 app "RedditTV"
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
