RMYouTubeExtractor

RMYouTubeExtractor provides an easy way to obtain MP4 URLs for your iOS apps by providing a YouTube video identifier.

This library borrows code from XCDYouTubeVideoPlayerViewController by Cédric Luthi - sans the MPMoviePlayerController, allowing you to just extract the URLs and roll your own player.

Requirements

  • iOS 7 (uses NSURLSession)
  • ARC

Installation

CocoaPods

pod “RMYouTubeExtractor”

then

$ pod install

Submodule / manually

  1. Add RMYouTubeExtractor.h and RMYouTubeExtractor.m to your project
  2. @import AVFoundation;

Usage

[[RMYouTubeExtractor sharedInstance] extractVideoForIdentifier:youtubeID
                                                    completion:^(NSDictionary *videoDictionary, NSError *error) {
                                                        }];

The instance returns a dictionary with up to 4 video qualities: 240p, 360p, 720p and 1080p. 1080p is rare.

Don’t forget to check for empty dictionary / errors.
