Youtube Video Download Code: Now Working & Source Posted

thestudent · 03-26-2009, 05:15 AM

If anyone is interested, here is working code that takes a youtube url as input and redirects the user to download get_video file which is a flv.

PHP Code:

  <?php     if($_POST["youtubeurl"]!=""){         $pagecontent = file_get_contents($_POST["youtubeurl"]);         preg_match("/v=([^(\&|$)]*)/", $_POST["youtubeurl"],$matches);         $VideoID = $matches[1];         preg_match("/\"t\": \"([^(\\\"|$)]*)/", $pagecontent,$matches);         $T_ID = $matches[1];         $VideoURL = "http://youtube.com/get_video?video_id=$VideoID&t=$T_ID";         header("Location: " . $VideoURL);     } ?> <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">  <html> <head>     <title>YouTube Downloader</title> </head> <body> <form action="youtube.php" method="post"> <b>YouTube URL:</b> <input type="Text" name="youtubeurl" size="35" value="http://youtube.com/watch?v=aFgJwRUojKw"> <br> <input type="submit" value="Download Video"> </form> </body> </html>

Why this?

if($_POST["youtubeurl"]!=""){

instead of..

if(empty($_POST["youtubeurl"])){

Also, you use double quotes too much, other than that, nice work.

I don't think this method still works; Youtube updated their site now and It's hard to find a website that can really convert the yt videos to flv's.

First of all its illegal to download the videos as they have copyright by the owners of the video. Secondly YouTube from time to time update the algorithm. You can never actually help but you may have to update it as it happens. Most of the time its very difficult to track it.

The algorithm is changed as stated by iamscottj...

And its really not necessary if you own IDM
