How to convert youtube playlist xm using php

ubeek.com/youtube gets an RSS feed for the playlist. you need to turn those id's into flv-urls, and turn that into an XML playlist for the player.

ubeek thanks for your reply. i have done most of the parts you mentioned . The only part that i don't know is how to get youtube direct flv urls using php code(automatically) not manually.

I have huge list of youtube urls in mysql database and want to convert them automatically to direct flv links before feeding them to jw video player.I be happy if you or some one else help me achive this task using php.Thanks

FLV link for YouTube videos
http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=

Example YouTube Address -
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t0kz8MCxq6A

Becomes -
http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A

please share your solution

ubeek adding http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A
to flash media player xml didn't play the video!!

The only way that will play is to get exact flv urls .I am looking for a solution that converts a huge list of youtube url to direct flv. Hope some one show me how to do this using vb6.Thanks

ubeek, how are you getting the feed? what chance is there your service could go down, or YouTube makes some change which causes your method to fail? i'm just wondering how safe it would be for me to use your service for a method to play [url=http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=7655]YouTube playlists[/url].

perhaps you'd like to help develop such a script. or (joy of joys), incorporate it into your service :D

hi all.

i want to run youtube videos in JW playerlist using XML. and ASP

is it possible ?. If yes means please give me some sample code .

thanks in advance

Look here: http://blog.stef.be/default.asp?msgid=689 for ASP code for YouTube.

change: http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A

to: http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=t0kz8MCxq6A&type=flv

a system i built for my website has a similar problem, i use alot of code to hide file locations and the links end similar to that above, by adding &type=flv to the end the jw media player was able to recognise it was flv

same applied when using mp3s

these links worked for me inside an xml playlist as below

i've not tried this for the above youtube link, but i guess it should work as its a similar method.

Hi all,

How to get target youtube URL? Please give me sample ASP code

I need to make a custome Youtube player that will do a search on Youtube and find the 20 last videos that have been posted with a specific keyword. Any ideas???

Just set your file flashvar to the GData YouTube API.

Lots of examples here: [url=http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/developers_guide_protocol.html]Developer's Guide: The Protocol[/url] and here: [url=http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/reference.html]http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/reference.html[/url]

How can I get existing YouTube playlist(s) (on a YouTube account) to play in the FLV player locally?

Can anyone help with this?

Thx!

@Sam,

See this thread: http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?thread=7655  ——  NO, I MEANT A YOUTUBE PLAYLIST

i need to add audios to playlist ,selected by chechbox in the form

I've integrated the multiple playlis script with playlist.php. It allows you to create multiple playlist controlled by a form.
Have a look at: http://www.r4lph.nl/jwplayer

@r4lph,

Excellent —— I'm ripping your code.

You're welcome AJAX ;-)

Thanks r4lph! and jeroenwijering

YouTubeRobot.com today announces YouTube Robot 2.0, a tool that enables you to download video from YouTube.com onto your PC, convert flv files to various video formats to watch it when you are on the road on mobile devices like mobile phone, iPod, iPhone, Pocket PC, PSP, or Zune.

YouTube Robot allows you to search for videos using keywords or browse video by category, author, channel, language, tags, etc. When you find something noteworthy, you can preview the video right in YouTube Robot and then download it onto the hard disk drive. The speed, at which you will be downloading, is very high: up to 5 times faster than other software when you download a single file and up to 4 times faster when you download multiple files at a time.

Manual download is not the only option with YouTube Robot. You may as well schedule the download and conversion tasks to be executed automatically, even when you are not around. Downloading is followed by conversion to the format of your choice and uploading videos to a mobile device (if needed). For example, you can plug in iPod, select the video, go to bed, and when you wake up next morning, your iPod will be ready to play new YouTube videos.

how put video youtube on my xml list

i need example please

Again this is confusing and no one answered the question: how do you get the actual FLV url and how do you get the xml file? What is the exact coding for the xml file and how & where do you store it.

@Candice,

Most of the information in this thread is obsolete.

You can play YouTube playlists directly in the current v4.x players.

Of course, use your playlist ID number (the part in bold).

Thank you kLInk
Is there an instructional on how to create the actual content file once you have the player installed? I have the player installed on my joomla site as a module. Now I wish to put in content code that show up as clickable thumbnails, etc.
The JW set up that I have includes a mediaplayer folder which contains _MacOSX folder, an images folder, a skins folder and the following files: preview.jpg, readme.html, swfobject.js, video.flv, video.xml, yt.swf

All I need to know now is what content code (I'll paste in my own youtube links) and what file to paste that code into, presuming I have all the necessary files in the right place.
Many thanks

P.S.
If you just want to show various youtube videos would I use the same link above or a list of links to the various videos. I don't have my own youtube playlist of videos yet, but I want to share videos that I like from youtube on my site
EDIT: I just discovered where playlists are made on youtube. I'm making a few of my own playlists. Now all I know is where to put any code and any link(s) and what folder and what file.
Also my player shows in the screen Error#2032 with no thumbnails and no video

Sorry, I'm clueless about where to put the content links in Joomla. You will get much better results on a Joomla Forum or just Googling.

Ok thanks
I should have phrased my question clearer. I meant to ask where do content files go in general. By content I mean the youtube link or links to playlists. There's a download on this site which has the entire JW package of files. I want to input my own youtube video links, but the tutorial doesn't say where.
I will try googling and also joomla forums and perhaps list what I find if I don't get an answer here.
TY

The link to a file or a playlist goes in the flashvar file. There are many ways of writing the code, but there will be something like this:flashvars="file=<strong>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qliJnQKP60</strong>&autostart=true&..."So that would be a link to a YouTube video file. A playlist (YouTube or your own) would go in the same place.

However, CMSs usually have separate facilities for inputting and storing media files in a database, so you should look for a media configuration menu in your CMS.

Have you looked at this:http://www.longtailvideo.com/addons/modules/38/AllVideos-Plugin-(for-Joomla)-?q=

Hi yes,
I've looked at the LongTall Video's as well, but their module fails to tell folks where to place content links.
Based on the setup from a joomla site, I created a folder called media player where I uploaded and extracted the JW player plus it's supporting files.
The problem with All videos is it doesn't truly fit with most templates, and it seems to have no way of playlist playback. It's for single videos. I've seen JW player in use on many joomla template sites, but everyone seems to be keeping it a BIG secret on how they got your script to work. That's truly heart breaking!

P.S. For anyone else who is totally lost like me or has similar situation, here is where I got my info from you can see someone posted a tutorial there using your JW player
http://www.rockettheme.com/option,com_smf/Itemid,190/topic,38265.0/

I have been tinkering with this all day and nite (up til 4am) and now back at it again.
I at least got the following error message "unknown playlist: content"
Can someone please give me some hints or suggestions as to what could be wrong.
Thanks
