If you know Python...
http://rg3.github.com/youtube-dl/ It's regularly updated to reflect the changes on YouTube.com |

Why downloading the video ? It's stored in your browser's temporary directory after a simple watch.

You may be unable to watch the video to begin with if, for example, you don't have Flash installed.
Also there are plugins/extensions in some browsers (Opera, Firefox) that allow you to do the same, but for the past 3 years you may have noticed this is a programming-related forum. :p |

From the OP: me239 wrote: I want to write a simple YouTube downloader in Windows And I presume me239 wants to write it in assembly, so it's in the right subforum. The youtube-dl Python script I posted a link to is only meant as a reference. Alternatively it should be in Projects and Ideas. |

ManOfSteel perfectly reflects why I'm delaying the moving, if the thread remains with this trend (providing existing tools to get the job done and not implement anything), I'll move it to Heap, if it will move towards making a tool in Python or any HLL then I'll move to HLL, and if it will move towards making a tool in assembly then no move will be done. I didn't consider moving to Project and Ideas, I think it would be better to start a new thread so the first post can start at the initial implementation steps.

The project is interesting and it should not be so hard to be implemented - just one low-to-medium level exercise on network programming.
However, the big problem here is the fact, that YouTube all the time make changes to the format of their pages in order to make difficulties just for creators of such kind of projects. In my impression, the usual life without update of such programs is round about several months. The proper approach is to think about implementing some more sophisticated algorithm that to search and extract the proper URL even if the format changes - and this is not so trivial task anymore. |

So, here we go man of steel, looking at the last sign of desperation, we could discern that me wants just to get that video with a fail proof method without using another product, program, code, python framework or winsock client downloader written in asm with flash video decoder includes. My method is the best and if you want to see some code in it I would be glad to see some code of yours, in asm, doing that process and finding that precious flv file inside of an ugly temp folder. Just don't mess up the gui (: |

If you go on any youtube video page and Right click and select view source.
You'll find that the flash video is embedded with, of course, the embed tag. It seems like they add more attributes and properties to the embed tag element . For example, you'll find something like rv.x.xxx = value; Those are not default DOM element attributes. So the thing would be to make an HTTP POST request ( Search for video ), then use some XML parsing technique to parse the results into a list view or list box and then, navigate to that video page and get its contents and search for the embed tag. That would mean coming up with your own algorithm to search for attributes & values for the video. And also, the file itself (the video file) can not be played alone without some YouTube server sided scripts(I assume). There has to be another easier way though  |

OK, I had no idea this thread would get this out control with people questioning the philosophy of my post. My request is simple; how do I download YoutTube videos from the URL using SOLELY FASM for Windows? I looked for rv.x.xxx = value and found the embedded player, but not the video.

another simple way would be to make your own website that in php handles requests from your fasm proggy.
the php website will do all the work and then give you the decoded video link then you can download it using DownloadUrlToFile api. i'll try it myself right now. |
