PHP - Youtube Audio/video Downloader Script? There Must Be Something Around.

I can search for videos by keyword and can fetch videos list from youtube using its api in php. I can fetch video title, description, thumbnail etc. but how can i fetch video url not like this -> youtube.com/watch?id=xyz...     Example: ytpak[dot]com

I'm not sure if this is possible   Previously I had a problem of outputting rows of a specific query   This was the solution that was given to me

$txt .= $date . " " . $stratoparse . "\n\n";

Where a while loop's results were concatenated to a single string   What I would like to do is output the results in individual containers with controls such as dragging for repositioning / an x for deletion   That's not what I'm here for in this post   I want to embed youtube videos, so they are not just stored as links, rather a clickable video   so if you have something like string.string2.string3.string4.string5.<iframe src="youtube"...>.string7.string8   how would that video be isolated and parsed / understood as a front end youtube video ?   To provide a brief background in case you are wondering why in my right mind, I would want to do this...   First it is the primary solution that comes to mind going off what already works   Secondly, the purpose or point of the concatenated string comes from the "application" design which is a store and recall interface.   Vague, I know. The website has multiple users and they all have access to a single database. They save random strings, whether they are paragraphs or links, possibly videos that are uploaded, etc... these are saved by a keyphrase, later recalled by searching that keyphrase.   Currently the output is nothing more than a concatenated string, that was fine initially but some of my friends have been testing the website and they made suggestions which are good such as repositioning and deleting entries. Now I want to automatically parse youtube links into embedded videos...   I'll probably use that explode "function" to disect the link and place the url within the src=" "   Anyway, I have to look into this but if anyone has any thoughts I'd appreciate it.

Hi guys,

In an application I'm working on, I'm looking to embed a youtube video with [YOUTUBE][/YOUTUBE].

Code: [Select]
echo preg_replace('#(?:<\>]+href=\")?(?:http://)?((?:[a-zA-Z]{1,4}\.)?youtube.com/(?:watch)?\?v=(.{11}?))[^"]*(?:\"[^\<\>]*>)?([^\<\>]*)(?:)?#', '<object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$matches[2].'"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/'.$matches[2].'" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object>', $ENTIREPAGE?);
The problem is that the video appears with a slider control at the bottom.

How do I get rid of the Youtube slider control at the bottom?

Thanks.

I have a video system on my website that allows users to post videos and it embeds youtube videos into the site, I would like to create an interface where you can comment on the actual video itself and it go to youtube's commenting stream. Is that possible? difficult?

Hello everyone

     I am working on a blog system. and I am having problems with the youtube video embed I have found some script online that kinda works

If I post more then one youtube link the player shows up.. but it says movie not loaded. if I post just one video it just shows the url to the video on youtube.

here is my youtube_function.php


<?PHP
//convert youtube links into embede

function show_youtube($text)
{
$VID_WID = 320;
$VID_HEI = 240;

for ($k=0; $k<9; $k++)
{
$text .= "";
$find = 'youtube.com/watch?v=';
$pos = strpos($text, $find);
if ($pos == false)
{
break;
}
$len = strlen($text);
for ($i=$pos; $i>=0; $i--)
{
if (substr($text, $i, 6) == 'http://')
{
$pos1 = $i;
break;
}
}
for ($i=$pos; $i<$len; $i++)
{
if (in_array($text[$i], array('&', ' ', "\r", "\n", ',', "\t")))
{
$pos2 = $i;
break;
}
}
$link1 = substr($text, $pos1, $pos2 - $pos1);
$link2 = str_replace('/watch?v=', '/v/', $link1);

$embed = '<object width="' . $VID_WID . '" height="' . $VID_HEI . '">'.
'<param name="movie" value="' . $link2 . '"></param>'.

'width="' . $VID_WID . '" height="' . $VID_HEI . '"></embed></object>';

$text = str_replace($link1, $embed, $text);
}
return $text;
}
?>


and I have index.php

so as you can see I have show_youtube($post->post, $text); I have tried this just out of curiosity to see if I could fix this myself. but It seems like the video does not want to run at all... I am confused with this and some help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I am looking for a code where I can get a video URL from Youtube, Vimeo, Facebook and convert it to an embedded video to be shown on my site. I found a script that does that. It works fine.

The only errors I get are in the inspect element window in the browser. Errors such as this. 

Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT   googleads.g.doubleclick.net/pagead/id:1 
Failed to load resource: net::ERR_BLOCKED_BY_CLIENT   static.doubleclick.net/instream/ad_status.js:1 

 

This is the function to generate the embedded videos. Do the above errors matter if the videos show up and play fine?

function generateVideoEmbedUrl($url){
    //This is a general function for generating an embed link of an FB/Vimeo/Youtube Video.
    $finalUrl = '';
    if(strpos($url, 'facebook.com/') !== false) {
        //it is FB video
        $finalUrl.='https://www.facebook.com/plugins/video.php?href='.rawurlencode($url).'&show_text=1&width=200';
    }else if(strpos($url, 'vimeo.com/') !== false) {
        //it is Vimeo video
        $videoId = explode("vimeo.com/",$url)[1];
        if(strpos($videoId, '&') !== false){
            $videoId = explode("&",$videoId)[0];
        }
        $finalUrl.='https://player.vimeo.com/video/'.$videoId;
    }else if(strpos($url, 'youtube.com/') !== false) {
        //it is Youtube video
        $videoId = explode("v=",$url)[1];
        if(strpos($videoId, '&') !== false){
            $videoId = explode("&",$videoId)[0];
        }
        $finalUrl.='https://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$videoId;
    }else if(strpos($url, 'youtu.be/') !== false){
        //it is Youtube video
        $videoId = explode("youtu.be/",$url)[1];
        if(strpos($videoId, '&') !== false){
            $videoId = explode("&",$videoId)[0];
        }
        $finalUrl.='https://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$videoId;
    }else{
        //Enter valid video URL
    }
    return $finalUrl;
}

 

This is my script I want to display but it does not show in the page just blank.

Hello all!
I've been searching for sometimes without result on how to write a PHP script to open video streams in a website. When I open a website where there are links to several video streams and what I would like to do is to view them all in a consecutive manner (kind of a playlist).
Could any one help me with this?
Many thanks in advance!
BR,
Tomi

This is the php file code to a video jukebox add-on script, for a popular web video script.
I'd like to modify it so the "Click Here" text font and color can be changed. Can you help or suggest what I can do to accomplish this?

Thanks

Code: [Select]
<?php include("../classes/config.php");?>
<artworkinfo>
<?
$query = "select * from videos where viewtime<>'0000-00-00 00:00:00' and public_private='public' AND approved ='yes' AND promoted ='yes'  limit 10"; // Max 10!";
$db=mysql_connect ($dbhost,$dbusername,$dbpassword) or die ('I cannot connect to the database because: ' . mysql_error());
mysql_select_db ($dbname);

$num_rows = mysql_num_rows(mysql_query("select * from videos WHERE public_private = 'public' AND promoted = 'yes' AND approved ='yes'"));

$result = mysql_query($query) or die ('Query Error: ' . mysql_error());
while ($results = mysql_fetch_array($result)) {
?>

Anyone know of a script that will allow you to upload a file and converts it to a specified file format?

Folder layout:
script/
script/videos/mp4/                                       }
script/videos/ogg/                                        }    folders for converted files from uploaded files
script/videos/webm/                                     }
script/videos/swf/                                        }

Video player:
Code: [Select]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SwrawcORlp0&feature=popular

How can I from the URLs above only extract the id into a variable $url
SwrawcORlp0

Thanks, df

hey back again, I need help finding something like the audio player found at www.soundowl.com. I need it to be similar in the sense that the URL of the file cannot be found in the source code and this is exactly what I need for my website, any help will be appreciated, thank you in advance

I know this can't be accomplished with JUST PHP, however a few questions. I want to create code that will allow users to record an audio message and then this will be saved as a file and linked into my database (hence the PHP/MySQL requirement).

How would I go about this? Is it possible? Which languages would I need?

The application that I want to build is quite simple. Here is a bit of the background of the work flow:

In my company, we create video for our client profile. After the video is done, we upload the video to our website and to youtube. It is done automatically.

After a period of time, the client can delete the video. Of course, it will delete the video in our system as well as the video in youtube. For now, the video in our system is deleted automatically. However, youtube video is deleted manually.

Our company has grown to have quite a lot of clients. It's hard for us to keep track clients that requested to delete their videos. We want to be able to have an application that will delete youtube video automatically.

I already tried to play around with youtube authentication in http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_php.html#Authentication but I have no luck with the authentication.

I want the application to be able to delete the video under my youtube account without having me to login to youtube. In my case right now, every time the application wants to delete the video, I have to send the request to youtube and ask for verification (i.e. I have to do application verification every time).

Here is what I have done so far:

$singleUseToken = $_GET['token'];
updateAuthSubToken($singleUseToken);

/* editVideoData('mJDRXXaFVGw'); */
}



This is how I call the function: http://example.com/youtube_delete_video.php

So, what I need basically is to know
1. how can I store the authentication after I verify it from youtube?
2. What function to populate after I store the authentication? <- I couldn't figure where this part is in the documentation.

PS: example.com is not a real url. It's just for the sake of writing the post he )
