I want to play youtube video on Surface, using MediaPlayer.
So, I should put there direct video link.
Problem is: How to get this link on Android device?
Link like this: http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/VIDEO_ID
Is no longer available. Probably because of old and deprecated API v2.0.
But this web service somehow do the trick.
And result link works perfect. So it is still possible.
Try with this url
String ytInfoUrl="http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=" + youtubeID + "&eurl="
+ URLEncoder.encode("https://youtube.googleapis.com/v/" + youtubeID, "UTF-8");
Open this using a HttpGet extract the RTSP urls from that info response.
