It doesn't work anymore. it looks like google now adds some kind of session key (ip and timestamp) in the forwarding mechanism and that key needs to be appended into the url.
however the only way to access that key is if you access a video from the normal link.
Maybe someone can write a PHP that grabs that......

Hello,

Thank you Abdul this is a very nice code! too bad I just found it, while it was posted a LONG time ago!

I guess the "http://youtube.com/get_vide..." script is gone because I get no results whatsoever, only 404 error.

While if you run a query for: "http://youtube.com/v/AJRcOF..." it works, but you wonÂ´t get te 't=' param anymore.

@Abdul

It seems your server does not accept any requests, I keep getting 403 error on all your examples.

I thought the AIR example might be too complicated for some, so I changed the example (http://eduviews.com/portal/... to demonstrate how this is done with Flash/Flex and a php proxy.

This posting (http://eduviews.com/portal/... is an explanation of how to resolve the video_id into a genuine flv. This can be done directly in an .AIR application (see the example), OR if you are using a straight Flash player then you can implement this code as a proxy on your server.
Hope this helps some of you.

how are you getting the URL from the youtube video_id?

Problem Solved!
Just check out the following website
Enter the url and get your favorite clip
You can also check Auto-Download to D.L your stuff from the page.
Otherwise you'll be given a code.

In some countries You Tube has been filtered due to strict Internet policies like Iran, Turkey, Tailand ,...
Is there anyway to bypass the filter and download the clip from youtube since all the youtube IP ranges have been snuffed out?

tried all the youtube URL's given here, none of them works anymore (if they ever worked), so guys quit the search, it's not worth it. The URL's generated are pure dynamic, just include youtube player and enjoy the video.

Hello,
I have a cache-server that is caching youtube flv video. Somewhere in Feb 2008, I notice that youtube return new parameters on the URL for download...client ip address..signature...
This makes every individual download unique if the clients are of different ip. From my cache-server, all flv files are missed. Any ideas on this?
Thanks.
Example
Previously
http://cache.googlevideo.co...
Now
http://cache.googlevideo.co...

I have several youtube players on my website that I set up to play my own playlists of videos I found on youtube. 2 of the players aren't always on my playlist when I log onto the site. When this happens I have to go back to my custom player, make a minor edit on the description or something, then hit save and finish and the player is fixed. But 3 or 4 visits later it's back on the wrong video. usually the same wrong video. Any suggestions?

the answer to FLVPlayback problem is adding this in NCManager.as, line 276 after the if condition.
it should now accept parameters passed to contentPath.
else{
_isRTMP = false;
_streamName = parseResults.streamName;
return (canReuse || connectHTTP());
}
I am using Flash CS3 on OS X and within NCmanager.as at line 276 it does not have an if statement. I found the NCmanager.as file in the directory Flash CS3>Configuration>Component Source>ActionScript 3.0>FLVPlayback>fl>video
I was able to get the urlhttp://cache.googlevideo... to playback using the Media Component in Actionscript 2.0 but can't get it to play with the Flvplayback component in either Actionscript 2 or 3. Can anyone figure how to play using FLVplayback component??
