Help With Playing YouTube Video
I have been trying to figure out how to play a YouTube link for a while now and cannot seem to figure it out. I have used several resources and still cannot get a proper link to stream the video. Could anyone steer me in the right direction. Below is the code I am using, and the error log I am receiving.
final ArrayList<String> args = new ArrayList<>();
args.add("-vvv");
args.add("--no-drop-late-frames");
args.add("--no-skip-frames");
LibVLC mLibVLC = new LibVLC(this, args);
Media m = new Media(mLibVLC, Uri.parse("https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwdjpbKG3h"));
m.addOption(":no-http-forward-cookies");
if(m.parse(IMedia.Parse.ParseNetwork)){
Log.d("youtubeVal",m.subItems().getCount()+"");
}This is the error log as you can see the last one states 0 for the media count which makes no sense.
