[Help]Youtube Download

[Blubb1337]

     Try
            My.Computer.Network.DownloadFile("https://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=u98lYTUB6PY&t=vjVQa1PpcFPeQnHdJ-PNP88lxlg9pGt9fq1qMf4PjnU=" & "&fmt=18", "C:\YouTubeVideo.mp4")

        Catch ex As Exception
            MsgBox(ErrorToString)
        End Try

This is my code. It does create the .mp4 file but it's length stays at 0.

When trying to BROWSE the link with a webbrowser it does work.

I have searched for the download code and found this:

ytd.formats[18].url = "https://" + document.location.host + "/get_video?video_id=" + videoId + "&t=" + token + "&fmt=18"

I did that...=/

Any idea????

I'm not 100% sure, but I think with all the new changes, you need the Api to access the real Url, which is different then the displayed url.

But Again, I am not sure, I put googletube API documentation somewhere here.

Hmmm damnit =/

Do you know a site containing youtube api tutorials & examples? Not just the api as download ^.-

[NextGen1]

I create a SOAP tutorial, and reference API.

It's really straight forward, once you add the api and import the functions , it's
simple, it will be .Download .Play .Video etc. etc. (or something like that)
.URL

Google Developers should have some documentation .

[Blubb1337]

Okay. I did found your api tutorial and your reference.

However, are there any CODE examples not just a block of text describing what it is able to do ?

[NextGen1]

I knew there was extensive documentation in Google Code (developers) section

Developer's Guide: .NET - YouTube APIs and Tools - Google Code

Is there a possibility to display the code as vb code instead of c sharp code? Not by converting it?

T Y V M, for now!!!

I will see if they have vb.net specific documentation, but in either case, it should convert well
