Flv Decoder in J2ME for playing Youtube videos


I am looking for playing flv files using J2ME. Is there any possibility for doing so? Is there any other way to play youtube videos through J2ME?


Solution

  • Extract the v parameter from an youTube url, lets call it VIDEO_ID.

    Open http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/mobile/videos/VIDEO_ID. The content is in xml format.

    Parse the xml to find media:content tags.

    Open the url attribute of a media:content tag with Manager.createPlayer(url). The protocol is rtsp.
