I am trying to play youtube video in exoplayer but here is some confusion I don't know what is DASH url, I have only real youtube url like "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1uyQZNg2vE" , I have no idea how to generate dash url form real url.
Dash Url:
new Sample("Google Glass",
"http://www.youtube.com/api/manifest/dash/id/bf5bb2419360daf1/source/youtube?"
+ "as=fmp4_audio_clear,fmp4_sd_hd_clear&sparams=ip,ipbits,expire,as&ip=0.0.0.0&"
+ "ipbits=0&expire=19000000000&signature=255F6B3C07C753C88708C07EA31B7A1A10703C8D."
+ "2D6A28B21F921D0B245CDCF36F7EB54A2B5ABFC2&key=ik0", DemoUtil.TYPE_DASH),
Real Url :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v1uyQZNg2vE
I've written a class that retrieves actual YouTube video streaming URL for format like DASH and HLS using http://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?&video_id=[video_id]&el=info&ps=default&eurl=&gl=US&hl=en url with video ID as described by Karim Abdell Salam. I have also tested the URL in an app that uses ExoPlayer and it works:
