YouTube api not working?

124 replies [Last post]

Hi, first of all thanks to Jeroen for making this player. I set it up for YouTube yesterday, and it worked fine. Today the player is not working. Images of the videos are shown, but when trying to play only an exclamation mark is shown. Anyone had the same problem or did I miss something?

The problem can be seen here: http://www.effektpedaler.dk/product.asp?product=3295&sub=478&page=1

Code:

<embed src="http://www.effektpedaler.net/flash/player.swf" width="400" height="625" bgcoor="000000" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" flashvars="file=http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users/EMPRESSEFFECTS/uploads?max-results=50&orderby=viewCount&skin=http://www.effektpedaler.net/flash/skins/kleur.swf&playlist=bottom"/>

We are using an older version of the player placed on same server for soundclips, it works fine.

-Kristoffer

@Jeroen

I think there is something wrong with the yt.swf
Video's can not be played anymore with the playlist
Single video's can be played
Message is

Youtube error(video not found?):
Then the link to the video

Yep, I just got this problem too. Exact same.

Yep. Same thing here. Would love an updated yt.swf file. Thanks!

Here an answer from youtube

Hi all, we are having a problem with the chromeless swf hosted on the gdata
server.

We hope to have it fixed very soon.

Until then, if you like, you can migrate to the new url of the player swf
(not longer needs a developer key!)

http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer

I tried this in the yt.as

var ytLocation:String = "http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer";
The yt.fla works then but after uploading no response so probally there needs some things to change

Interesting...I am currently testing an older version (3.16) so if they change parameters then I am not sure what to do to make 3.16 work. If I migrate to the new JW player, it seems it still doesn't work according to Ceasar with his changes. Besides, I dont know how to alter .as files and recompile to swf so I am completely lost. Please let me know if someone figures out a final solution.

Thanks

Latest answer from youtube

We just pushed the fix live, so your players will start working again.
We do encourage everyone to switch over to the
http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer swf, though.

It still doesn't work here

Ceasar - Do they know you are using the JW Player? Or do they think you are using the chromeless swf?

Look at the url I posted with youtube

http://groups.google.com/group/youtube-api-gdata/browse_thread/thread/55957d39161c37b4/2b18de8d53bef...

they know it's the JWplayer but it affect's all who are using the link to the player http://gdata.youtube.com/apiplayer/cl.swf

It needs to be reset to http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer
I tried that and compiled the fla to a new yt.swf. But nothing happens so I think there need some more changes to be done.
I search through all the files in the JWplayer but I only could find the gdata url in yt.as

I will try some more stuff or we have to wait till Jereon fixes this.
I have sent him a private message

Thanks for the update...I am assuming what ever fix he comes up with won't help me for JW player 3.16 ???

FYI, the player started working again on its own with no changes on my part. It appears what ever changes google/yt made have finally propagated across their servers. Thank GOD!!!

Ceasar, thanks for all of your help!

The problem here is the same, hope it will be solved soon...

I think I know where the mistake is but don't know how to solve it

First in yt.as the url to the player should be changed to
var ytLocation:String = "http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer";

then this url will be passed as a file name
<media:content url="http://www.youtube.com/v/zuj2OW60m5k&f=gdata_user_uploads"

This should be changed to <media:player url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuj2OW60m5k" />

But looking at all the as files availible I cannot find any reference for parsing these youtube xml files or removing the string &f=gdata_user_uploads

Anyone with more experience ?

on created xml file, youtube video playlists are working again , but youtube feeds are still not working.

Just talking to myself but also could be the problem with youtube as more people are reporting this issue
http://groups.google.com/group/youtube-api-gdata/browse_thread/thread/448aa1e11c623ec5/863b41e69159f...

Also wanted to point out that these new URLs break the YouTube player
on the iPhone app. I'm getting URLs like this:

http://www.youtube.com/v/QVfeLavkFso&f=gdata_videos

Should I parse out the f=gdata_videos part? Is this a permanent
change? Can drastic changes like this be communicated better in the
future?

Any updates on this issue? My site http://infinitube.net is essentially useless without a working video player, and I'm keen to get it fixed asap.

Are there any goeroe's online ?

In the mediaparser.as there is a reference to the xml content url

case 'content':
if(!itm['file'] && ObjectParser.MIMETYPES[i.@type.toString()]) {
itm['file'] = i.@url.toString();
itm['type'] = i.@type.toString();
if(i.@duration) {
itm['duration'] = Strings.seconds(i.@duration);
}
if(i.@start) {
itm['start'] = Strings.seconds(i.@start);
}
}
break;

media:content url="http://www.youtube.com/v/zuj2OW60m5k&f=gdata_user_uploads"

I think this should be
media:player url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuj2OW60m5k"
So I try to change the case 'content': to case 'palyer': but that doens't work

Any help would be appreciated

I think the latest version in the trunk has solved this issue
@Jeroen, perhaps you also should change the reverange to the chromeless player ?

var ytLocation:String = "http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer";

I made this update for the yt.swf

Download here
http://www.cfcms.nl/yt.swf

mine doesnt work -.-

Just curious, is there going to be a lot of errors (in the future) with playing youtube videos? I have about 50 vids on my site and I don't want them to become unavailable every other week.

Thanks, J

No joy here with the new yt.swf from Ceasar..

No word from the dev team?

You also have to download the latest player like I said in my post

Download here

http://code.longtailvideo.com/trac/browser/trunk/as3

@Johni.
Don't ask here but at the youtube developer site as there are the one's who are keeping changing things

thanks ceasar,

thx Ceasar ! The new player and your yt.swf have resolved my problem with youtube playlists.
Good job.

Thanks Ceasar, same here - your new yt.swf and the new player solved the problem, just great

Thanks Ceasar!! You're the man!

I need to use the embed code. How does the embed code look like?

my youtube aint working... i almost tried everything...
the only thing not working is the youtube player.

new player works youtube videos. but video Quality is very low.. how to fix this.

Thanks Caesar, but.... don't work in ie7!!!! How fix for ie????

Pathum send me a link... I think we may have the same issue... I want to compare... Thanks

Yeah no go in IE. IE needs to die. Now. DIE!

Did YT change the playlist url format? The url doesn't start with gdata, it's a normal url and it does not work. Anyone else having issues?

yeah one of my clients noticed this aswell, player cant find certain videos from youtube (file not found?) but the video does exist. any word on when this is likely to be fixed?

you tube is not working. whnevr i tried 2 play video evry tim show ki download d new version of adobe jabki i hv d latest version of adobe flash player. the bottom of d page evry time shows error......whn dis problm fix? n i thought dat dere is sum prob. in my pc

How i will get YouTube.API dll ?

hi,

I have a small query. 2 days back I dowloaded a new game in my system. the name of the game is "Text twist".With this game one more Software got downloaded. The name of the software is "shockwave". I felt for some time that some virus has gone in my system. So by means of Control Panel I removed and deleted both the softwares.

Now when I tried to use youtube. the video are not running properly.

What should I do to overcome this problem.

Thanks and Regards
Nisha

Nisha,

You need shockwave to view youtube videos. Go to http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/ and install it. It's not a virus.

Hi folks,

I'm having problems with videos from youtube in flash. I'm using the ytplayer but only the first movie of my list return data like total time and current in the controls bar. Does anyone can help me?

I'm having a similar issue. I'm loading the youTube API into as2, have been for a few months. One day we're checking out the site and after the first video has been loaded and destoy()'ed, no other video will load. Not even the player loads. Just get nothing!

Anyone else have this problem?

Is there anybody in there? Its a big problem. Why you can't fix it since 1 year?

@John

I gave up and switched over to the Chromeless player. While it is more cumbersome in that you have to code all the controls yourself, it is waaayyy faster and more stable.
Seriously consider it.

does anybody knows how to integrate this

javascript:if(document.location.href.match(/http:\/\/[a-zA-Z\.]*youtube\.com\/watch/)){document.location.href='http://www.youtube.com/get_video?fmt='+(isHDAvailable?'22':'18')+'&video_id='+swfArgs['video_id']+'&t='+swfArgs['t']}

into the player? it`s a script that gives you the mp4 video file from youtube.
work`s great in browser ... but i`m not good at php or java .. si i`m asking yo .. it`s posibile to make it work in JW?

yeah thats exactly what we need. it puts out a link for the highest quality video available whether its flv or mp4.

Is there anybody able to run the chromeless flash player with the sample FLA in AS2.0? There is no response , i got only blackscreen.

hey ppl

my youtube is not working and i dk how to fixed and i ned help
plese ppl help me

my youtube did not play videos, they show the problem that you have either old version Adobe flash player or javasript turn of. then i check it and install flash player 10 version and turn on java script, but the problem are remain.....plz do some thing to active my youtube

having the same problem jw player 4.3.
it used to work fine on my website until just recently when i last treid to play from a playlist
please help

Seems like this problem is back, or worse This may be a youtube problem.

The videos on my site, from youtube do not load sometimes!!!!

This is annoying!

 
I've noticed a lot of sites with dead YouTube embeds.

I think it might be because YouTube changed from this:http://www.youtube.com/v/jBAQU7Q7TZYto this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jBAQU7Q7TZY

today it stopped working at all... any solution guys?

anyone know if this problem gonna be solved by longtail? because i am working on a new site and i like to insert jw player with playlist from youtube..

sorry the bad english.. XD

my you tube says : Hello, you either have JavaScript turned off or an old version of Adobe's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player. i have already downloaded it please help mee. my msn is leb0spwn@hotmail.com

Hi Alex,

This is Ethan from LongTail here to help you.

YouTube's API is working with the JW Player - http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard?example=5, make sure you have JS Turned on and have the latest version of Adobe Flash on your computer.

Please email me directly at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com to follow up if you have any other questions, thank you.

Best Regards,
-Ethan

Has this issue been resolved, is there a fix, do we need to upload something new?

Hi Ethan - what about youtube playlists?

Well, it's not working for me. I downloaded your player and got player-viral.swf instead of player.swf...

The first problem is that your zip file out of the box doesn't work with the wizard code that your website spits out:
http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard?example=5

I tried it twice and it works on your site but not with the contents of your zip file. When I click on a video to load it into the player nothing happens. It's set to autostart too. When I click play, nothing but the JWPlayer logo spinning...

I tested my video url and it works on the wizard page and it also works in the browser.....

Any help would be appreciated:

function jwPlay(vidSrc){
var so = new SWFObject('player.swf','ply','470','320','9','#ffffff');
so.addParam('allowfullscreen','true');
so.addParam('allowscriptaccess','always');
so.addParam('wmode','opaque');
so.addParam('skin', '/YouTubeJwSkin/rei2.swf');
so.addParam('autostart', true);
vidSrc = vidSrc.substring(vidSrc.lastIndexOf('/')+1, vidSrc.indexOf('?'));
vidSrc = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D' + vidSrc;

//this is the concatenated url and it seems to work just fine on your example page.
//vidSrc = http://www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DShjxjaXKMJQ

so.addVariable('file', vidSrc);
so.write('videoPlayer');
}

@Leroy Vaughan,

You are mixing up Adobe Flash Player parameters with JW FLV Player flashvars.

Review the documentation for the Adobe Flash Player parameters. http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/127/tn_12701.html

Review the documentation for the JW FLV Player flashvars. http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashVars

That doesn't help me much. There aren't any code examples on the second link, so it hasn't really cleared up much.

I went to the setup page and that's where the code was at...and I'm not using the embed code either.

Your links weren't any help at all.

I'm using swfobject and the downloaded zip file from the download page...

Also, only using HQ you tube videos: http://developer.longtailvideo.com/trac/wiki/FlashFormats#YoutubeVideos

I followed the code example on the setup wizard page. It works there, but not on my page.

I have tried extra querystring variables at the end of my vid url:

type=video
fmt=18

Nothing seems to work. But the urls are valid. They work on the setup wizard page and also when pasted into a browser url.

Thanks for the attempt Roger, but it wasn't any help.

It's all about the attitude, man. Here's your tested, working code — I can't do much about the attitude.

Thanks! Got it working.

I'm not sure what I was doing wrong though. I didn't change any references to .js files or even the player.swf and yt.swf.

Your help is greatly appreciated!

I take that back. This thing doesn't work for me in any browser. It will, however, work in the preview window of Homesite 5.

But then, I'm plagued by the problem of only allowing playback once and having to wait umpteen minutes before I can play the vid again.

sending events to the player doesn't work, and trying to get an object reference to the player doesn't work either.

I took that code above, pasted into an html document, changed the name of the player{ver}.swf file to player.swf and it does not work....

doesn't work....doesn't work.

hello please help me with this my you tube is not working from last 1 and half month i also uploaded flash player but it is of no use please tell me what to do

It appears the same issues are popping up again today.

The standard example page doesn't work (i.e., http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard?example=5).

It worked earlier today, then stopped working.

Any updates re: this ongoing issue?

Every time I go to you tube, I .get a message that says that the program is performing an illegal operation. Please, help me.

Hi disabledman,

This is Ethan from LongTail here to help you.

Unfortunately, this looks like there is an issue with your computer. If you get an illegal operation on YouTube.com, this is not something we can help you with.

Please email me directly at ethan [at] longtailvideo [dot] com to follow up if you have any other questions, thank you.

Hi - don't know if this helps but I'm experiencing a problem just with Firefox 3.0.5 (Mac).

http://www.longtailvideo.com/support/jw-player-setup-wizard?example=5

I can confirm that there is definitely a bug with Firefox on the Mac using the page above - the video never loads and the icon spins endlessly. Things work better with Safari on the Mac, but sometimes I encounter the same behaviour.

Things on the PC seem fine - can someone from LongTail please look into this?

Thanks.

This is a YouTube/Flash issue on Macs unfortunately.

how are you youtbe I cant listen or shaw my video

my youtube playlist is not playing anymore, any news why it's happening?

Can you provide a link?

What OS / Browser are you using?

I wont my on youtube by my sefe................................

this is shaylamelvin-mcdonald

Hi,
I have the youtube api installed in my website and it was working fine until a few days ago. Now I can search for the youtube videos but I can't play them. There is no error messages. Video opens when I click on it but than nothing. I contact with my hosting company and they said it's all fine with us and the videos are playing. Than I updated my flash player to the latest version, check the api code and still nothing it says loading gdata.youtube.com. In the mean time some of the members had the same problem. I really don't know what to do, Hope you guys have some advice for me (where to look what to do)

Kind Regards
Bart Einhoven

Same issues as "having the same". Worked until a couple days ago. Now nothing.

@Jim - Can you provide a link?

Hi,

The player says "loaded file is an unknown type".

Your code is loading this - http://www.themusicage.com/home.php?user=yt.swf

That is breaking it.

Best,
-Ethan

I have the same problem!
I think YouTube has done something again

@Hussein - Can you provide a link?

I'm having the same issue- the video player with the YouTube playlist worked the first couple times I tested it, but now the playlist shows up and it just doesn't play. Any ideas what I can do to fix? I've updated to the latest JW player.

It doesn't seem to be working on the setup wizard either.

Link: http://resolutionchurch.org/about-resolution/

It works for me (Firefox/WinXP/Flash Player10).

What OS / Browser are you using?

Is there a new protection? A country / IP protection?

I had the php code I got here working for the last year but has recently stopped working.

Has youtube started restricting access to the fmt 18 and 22 video sources?

I get the proper responses from youtube as before but trying to actually connect to the mp4 source file to download produces an error.

http://server.icarussl.com/getmp4.php?v=07pLGIgyfjw

Note sure if there is a new protection.

That link produces a file not found error:

Firefox can't find the file at http://v9.lscache4.c.youtube.com/videoplayback?ip=208.0.0.0&sparams=id,expire,ip,ipbits,itag,algorit....

I know, everything reacts as before ,

I used to be able to open that URL above directly with Quicktime to verify the source was working but now it just errors out.

$video_id = $_GET['v'];
$video_id = str_replace('.mp4','',$video_id);

I have changed it a bit over time but it's very close to original I found on this blog.

I test the youtube responses here:

http://server.icarussl.com/getmpExplode.php?v=07pLGIgyfjw

and can see the resource is being located correctly, but when connecting to it, it is somehow blocked or restricted.

Any help would be muchly apreciated. :))

All I can tell you is that YouTube must have updated their API.

Hi Ethan

Actually I have a similar problem with my site as all the videos embedded from Youtube are not playing anymore since yesterday it loads the youtube logo then loads the duration of the video but doesn't play the video. I asked some of my friends to check if video is playing or not some of them said its playing and some of them said its not playing and they are having same error as I am getting. Would you please care to check what is going wrong in my site please?

here is the link www.vidzshare.net/play.php?vid=7494

Please help me to sort this out as it might get my site to lose lots of visitors.

Thank You

Yes, the resource is located correctly, but look what the resource contains:

videoplayback?ip=208.0.0.0

That means that only IP addresses starting with 208 can play it. Or, in other words:

Only the server that fetches the token and the resource URL can also really load/play the video.

And that is new. It has been changed 2 days ago.

Muhammad - http://www.vidzshare.net/play.php?vid=7494 is working for me.

ShaddyShow: Holy shit ... That means, we must use only youtube api player. OMG. Great news!

Yup had to abandon that code altogether, this method will no longer work as of 3/17/2010.

Vince V: There must be way, how we can by-pass their ability to load up video. I think, when it is fixed on IP address - its weird, because client always has different IP. Even if that video is loaded over youtube.com/apiplayer ...

hmmm ... just thinking how figure it out ...

Hello Ethan Thank you for looking at it, I figured out the problem and that was just the problem with my ISP. The problem is strange but it is from my ISP as I can't play any videos from Youtube even with its original embed code and not with any other player. The only way i can play youtube videos is to play on Youtube's site.

Thank You again for looking

@ Fiola I have one site which played direct youtube flv till 2 days ago but now its same problem as youtube has added something about the ip. I can play or download any video on my local server but it doesn't work on my hosting. If i find anything i will post it here and if u do please share it with us.

Thank You

@Muhammad Aftab : Dont worry, ... its now third day, what i doing a fix. But this new IP control is practicaly unbeatable :). But there must be way, how to take video directly from apiplayer. I think - i dont understand, why dont work HD quality with apiplayer in JWplayer...

hi

I would just like to say that there is a fix for the current way youtube is blocking us from downloading.

check savevid.com (their site is working to get flv and mp4)

regards,

- prox

@thaproxinator I found the same site they are somehow sending requests to youtube with client's ip cuz the url generated from it has user's ip instead of server I tried doing that with Javascript as javascript is cient based script I thot it might send request using clients ip but it didn't work or may be i did something wrong. There must be a simple trick and that will hopefully be found in few days .. I am sure somebody will find it and I hope they will share it.

unfortunately, there was a simple fix but then YouTube blocked that out aswell (IP locked download URLs)

regards,
-prox

Only way i think to make it work using Java or JSON as both runs on client's machine and can send request through clients IP instead of server. Kissyoutube.com does it and it works with JAVA perfectly. savevid.com works on JSON and still working.

any solution for embedding youtube videos on jwplayer???
it's been a week or so it's not working anymore.
any news please let me know on elitonbarros@yahoo.com.br

Muhammad: the Javascript solution would be a way... but then still the user could not open videos which are blocked for his country :(

Is there anyway to embed youtube videos on flash (exe) files with this new protection?

ShaddyShow: I guess thats not important as this issue is just to fetch flv link of the public videos which can be accessible in any country. I will keep trying to find the solution and hopefully will get it soon or who knows may be someone has got the fix and they might post it somewhere.

Lets hope for the best

Guys,

I was using the PHP scripts to download videos from YouTube too. I just used a workaround, and that's just using the type=youtube and just using the native youtube support in the JW Player. Before you judge me as crazy, I've written it all up on my blog. I promise I'm not trying to spam or sell anyone.

http://garethhooper.com/articles/information-technology/web-multimedia/138-did-the-php-files-for-vie...

Gareth

Hi,

Did someone get any solution about this problem??

Gareth Hooper... you rock!

Yesterday they were working fine, then today they just stopped working. I added that value 'type=youtube' and started working.

Sow for my application just specifying:
type=video (Local Videos)
type=youtube (Youtube)

So, wondering...
type=googlevideo?

Will have to play with it as I have not tested it yet with google videos.

THANKS!

It seem that this link stopped working:

http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id="

this is causing issue with the custom player

any news??

Doesn't look like. Did LongTailVideo kill the other thread where we discussed solutions? :O Even without leaving any message or notice?

That's really ODD !!!!!

ShaddyShow: yes they did, I actually found one temporary solution for my site, It reads the file on server and then serves the client then flushes the file out of the server. So basically it uses the server bandwidth 2x times for each video. But It works until the better solution comes up.

u can check it working on my site www . tubesearch . net

I use that solution already since 17.03. ;)

Hi there,

Having the same issue with youtube but it is just happening SOMETIMES... we are using 5.3 and may be once thru 10 times click, facing the same issue but it has been happening enough to bring up attentions...
so what is happening in here is: the thumbnail showes up, preroll works then it just doesn't want to play the youtube one... even tried the solution of forcing the type of player, still the same. and again, it is not happening all the time...
