I am developing an android application that streams and shows a couple of videos. Instead of storing videos on my server, I thought uploading them to youtube as unlisted, and getting them from youtube is a great idea. After getting the video, I want to show them in default android video player, not in youtube app or web view.
I don't have any problem when I put videos in my server (for example www.mysite.com/video.mp4), but is there any way to get the url of a youtube video?
You can upload the videos using the YouTube Data API v3:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/docs/videos/insert
And setting the status.privacyStatus as unlisted
Then you can use the YouTube Android Player API to include the Video Player on your own Android App
https://developers.google.com/youtube/android/player/
To play a video, you only need the video ID, not the full url..
eg:
player.loadVideo("wKJ9KzGQq0w");

Download capability is only provided to PRO members requesting their own videos, from their own API app.
If this is what you are looking for, you should be able to see download links on every video in https://api.vimeo.com/me/videos

I saw some of the similar discussions in StackOverflow. So I tried Vittamio demo. There also Vimeo videos are not playing.
In the case of youtube url we have to convert to RTSP. for example
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jx3pdWBlZ34
will convert to
rtsp://v4.cache8.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQl-Z2VgdekdJxMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp
I gave sample url is like this.
private String path = "http://player.vimeo.com/video/49462103 ";
and
private String path = "http://vimeo.com/49462103";
Is this the right way to enter Vimeo url in Android
Please help me to fix my issues friends.
Vimeo provides PRO members access to their own source files via the new API3.
They are available on every video response, under the files key. You can get video responses by requesting a specific video (single video: /videos/{video_id}) or by requesting a collection of videos (your videos: /me/videos).
You can learn more about the api here: https://developer.vimeo.com/api/start
Please provide some url related to some documentation about video streaming in android. I got many document on this site but all are getting total content of video from url and then playing the video but i want to stream and play video simultaneously so that i can play without consuming a lot of time. thank you
There are two techniques:
Using MediaPlayer: If you are using streaming server to fetch video then just provide your URL in MediaPlayer source. MediaPlayer will manage everything.
Manually: If you are not using streaming server for video then you need to download and play video. Use following link as example. In following link author explain audio streaming. You can use same technique for video.
