Titanium Mobile SDK iPhone / Android: Extract Youtube Video URL / URI from video-id / identification / name and play mp4 file. (Workaround for the recent change of security in Youtube)

TiYoutube.js

Titanium.App.addEventListener("playvideo", function (e) {
        var win11 = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
                orientationModes: [Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_LEFT, Ti.UI.LANDSCAPE_RIGHT],
                title: "Video",
                zIndex: 222222
        });

        var activeMovie = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
                fullscreen: !0,
                autoplay: !0,
                backgroundColor: '#111',
                mediaControlStyle: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT,
                scalingMode: Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
        });

        activeMovie.url = e.url;
        win11.add(activeMovie);

        win11.open({
                fullscreen: !0
        });
        
        activeMovie.play();
});

        var vdrld = function (a, b) {
                vdldr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
                vdldr.onload = function () {
                        var x = decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length))))),
                            y = JSON.parse(x).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;
                            
                        return b(y);
                };
                vdldr.setRequestHeader("Referer", "http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=" + a);
                vdldr.setRequestHeader("User-Agent", "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_8_2) AppleWebKit/536.26.14 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/6.0.1 Safari/536.26.14");
                vdldr.open("GET", "http://m.youtube.com/watch?ajax=1&feature=related&layout=mobile&tsp=1&&v=" + a);
                vdldr.send()
        };

setTimeout(function(){
        vdrld("FGAyjfwK-wI", function () {
                return Titanium.App.fireEvent("playvideo", {url: arguments[0]});
        });
}, 5000);

hey that youtube code posted by khallouki again sttoped working plz help me .
can any one please tell me why that code stops working.

Format of the JSON returned by YouTube seems to have changed. fmt_stream_map now seems to be within a 'player_data' object instead of the 'video' object.

Try replacing:

this.responseText.length))).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

with

this.responseText.length))).content.player_data["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

hey thanks its working again...

Does it work in Android also? Seems not

I've got a return failed parse JSON

and I've fix with change

x = decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length)))));
y = JSON.parse(x).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

to:

x = this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length);
y = JSON.parse(x).content.player_data["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

I just remove "decodeURIComponent"

It's work on good on iOS simulator and device. not yet test on android.

ademahendra?

I had the same problem that you and I did the same change you did and I get an error:
"Unable to parse JSON atring at line 60".
This is my line 60:
"y = JSON.parse(x).content.player_data["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;"

What do you suggest that I can do?

Thank you.

I already tried this codes:

var vidWin = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
title : 'Video View Demo',
backgroundColor : '#fff'
});

// check for network
if (Titanium.Network.networkType === Titanium.Network.NETWORK_NONE) {
Titanium.API.info(' no connection ');
} else {
Titanium.API.info(' connection present ');
}

var videoPlayer = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
top : 50,
autoplay : true,
backgroundColor : 'blue',
height : 300,
width : 300,
mediaControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT,
scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
});

videoPlayer.url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yTGXoHsHws'; // replace this url with your video url
vidWin.add(videoPlayer);
vidWin.open();

And almost make the video run... The problem is that appears a loading icon running but the video doesn't play!
To play videos from youtube all video has to load before, using Titanium? I don't think so, right?

Kenan... Any tips on how to fix your script to work with YouTube's V3 API??

Thanks!!!
