RE: [Flashcoders] Challenge: open YouTube FLV in your own SWF

Re: [Flashcoders] Challenge: open YouTube FLV in your own SWF
There are tons of sites that come up on google if you search for download youtube flv, or things of that ilk. There are sites that will give you the direct path to the FLV and you can use their scripts for any YouTube movie ID url. FireBug for Firefox and Fiddler for IE7 are two examples of apps that provide HTTP request logs which allow you to see what the video path the Youtube video player is requesting and then plug that in to your flv player. Works fine. As you will discover, some flvs on youtube (actually, a lot) have no metadata whatsoever, so you need to use the YouTube API first to get the video information (specifically, duration, so you can seek). ___ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
