Question

I have gone all over google and am having trouble getting the rtsp link from a youtube video give the VIDEO_ID.

I am confused on how to use that id and then parse google for the link.

Thank you for your time and and effort.

Answer 1

I found this blog entry, maybe its a starting point. If you follow on of the <id> links you get another format where you should find the rtsp link.

EDIT:
after going through what WarrenFaith posted. PROPS TO HIM

this is how you get a rtsp link.

1. make a request
   • http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/VIDEO_ID
2. parse that data for the 3gp content
   • It also provides you with the rating and all that good stuff that you may want.

hope that helps you guys
