ATRAIN53 PLUGIN: How to get Youtube direct url streams

For example http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_6I089_mrE add "ss" in front of youtube to take you to the save from website. For example http://www.ssyoutube.com/watch?v=s_6I089_mrE There will be different format links for the video on the right. In ATrain53's video player plugin you can right click, click copy link address, and paste it in the url spot. It will stream perfectly. At least for me it did. I've only tried this on android and not iphone yet. Im sure it works the same.

Interesting. I've tried that hack with some luck as well. The AT53 Video Player uses MPMoviePlayerController and that doesn't really work with YouTube properly because YouTube wants a UIWebview. I think not embedding in a webview is some violation of their TOS as well? The other problem is that call is accessing their API and they will change that API eventually.... regardless... I've got a 'potential' plugin for the market to play EMBEDDED YouTube directly in iOS. Waiting for the new Self Hosted so I can build a screen to manipulate it's JSON. I also want to see what happens with the updated YTPlaylist plugin because the dev mentioned some new changes/updates a while back. (?) A few issues I still need to work out with the code - 1) Rotation for the screen.... The new code does play videos in a 'full screen' Portrait mode which is nice - but the webview that displays when the video ends depending on your rotation needs to be dealt with. 2) What to do when video ends.... I'm popping viewcontrollers in the background to force the video to launch but removing 2 views from the stack is requiring some effort. It seems there is always going to be some tapping involved to get YT to play or dismiss in IOS. Nothing just launches or removes from view automatically. I have had luck using the code with STREAMING YouTube which rocks.
