hi

i've problems to get the 'real clear' dash string for YouTube videos.

like
sources.Add(player1.CreateDashSource("http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest...6521BFC350652163895D4C26DEE124209AA9E&key=ik0"))

i try:
1. get the Video info / like (http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=a1D6xizxLXg)
2. urldecode the http_answer
3. search for a key called 'dashmpd'

found the key but there isn't a 'clear string' ?!?

Maybe someone knows a faster (asyncstream) solution?

I dont think that using asyncstreams is faster than okhttputils.

I tried this with the B4A Youtube video: ....//www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgxWP4Wu77s
but no usable streams. I can download the MP4 with one of the found links: https://www.saveitoffline.com/get/?...aHnAGjY0ns&u=d5eaRrcHKaVgmRfXXp9Z1FSp73GgtX8T but cannot use it to instantly stream the video. How to find the ...mp4 URL?

Kindly show us how to do this with saveitoffline. Thank you!

you must add json , text or xml
example:

B4X:

Looking at all the replies I think there must be somewhere a simple and reliable solution. So I concocted the following which failed miserably and I wonder why:

Dim videoID As String = "FaFftJh7nKc"
Dim su As StringUtils
Dim A, encoded As String
dim j, k as inte

Dim job As HttpJob
job.Initialize("YouTube",Me)
job.Download("http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id="&videoID)
wait for (job) JobDone(job As HttpJob)
If job.Success Then
A=job.GetString
encoded=su.DecodeUrl(A,"UTF-8")
j=A.IndexOf("dashmpd")
k=encoded.IndexOf("dashmpd")

no dashmpd in sight and when I do it ten times in a row I get ten different strings returned.

Can anyone enlighten me, please. Thanks in advance
