How to get mp4 / mov / m4v video for YouTube video?

Question

Can I get a url file for any video uploaded to youtube? I am not happy with using the YouTube player in my application and would like to launch it using an instance of MPMoviePlayerController.

PS: Will tag it with php as well, as domain developers would also have such a requirement

Answer 1

Do you mean something like this?

You can get the URL of the video and implement it in another video controller.

You can use Curl to pass it to your users.

Answer 2

I do this in my iOS application using https://github.com/larcus94/LBYouTubeView

There is an LBYouTubeExtractor class that makes it easy to capture an iOS file for any YouTube link you submit.

LBYouTubeExtractor* extractor = [[LBYouTubeExtractor alloc] initWithURL:URL quality:quality]; extractor.delegate = self; [extractor startExtracting]; 

Works well ... Good luck.
