play streaming in VideoView, convert url to rtsp


I need to play youtube video and record video in the same layout.

To perform this I search for youtube api and found that android version need to be higher than 2.2, this ok but, i want to use VideoView.

I saw some post here about this issue and decide eventually to use this code to watch video in VideoView.

videoView = (VideoView) findViewById(R.id.your_video_view);

Log.d(TAG,getUrlVideoRTSP(current_url) + "  id yotube1  " );


//here type the url...
videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(getUrlVideoRTSP(current_url)));



videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); //sets MediaController in the video view

videoView.requestFocus();//give focus to a specific view 
videoView.start();//starts the video

this code works, but just with rtsp link like this :

String exemple = "rtsp://v4.cache3.c.youtube.com/CjYLENy73wIaLQlW_ji2apr6AxMYDSANFEIJbXYtZ29vZ2xlSARSBXdhdGNoYOr_86Xm06e5UAw=/0/0/0/video.3gp";

I have multiple link in url therefore I need code to convert url to RTSP, I can't do this manually, I check some code and all of them do not work...

I try this: from here How to get RTSP URL?

public static String getUrlVideoRTSP(String urlYoutube)
{
    try
    {
        String gdy = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/";
        DocumentBuilder documentBuilder = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder();
        String id = extractYoutubeId(urlYoutube);
        URL url = new URL(gdy + id);
        HttpURLConnection connection = (HttpURLConnection) url.openConnection();
        Document doc = documentBuilder.parse(connection.getInputStream());
        Element el = doc.getDocumentElement();
        NodeList list = el.getElementsByTagName("media:content");///media:content
        String cursor = urlYoutube;
        for (int i = 0; i < list.getLength(); i++)
        {
            Node node = list.item(i);
            if (node != null)
            {
                NamedNodeMap nodeMap = node.getAttributes();
                HashMap<String, String> maps = new HashMap<String, String>();
                for (int j = 0; j < nodeMap.getLength(); j++)
                {
                    Attr att = (Attr) nodeMap.item(j);
                    maps.put(att.getName(), att.getValue());
                }
                if (maps.containsKey("yt:format"))
                {
                    String f = maps.get("yt:format");
                    if (maps.containsKey("url"))
                    {
                        cursor = maps.get("url");
                    }
                    if (f.equals("1"))
                        return cursor;
                }
            }
        }
        return cursor;
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Log.e("Get Url Video RTSP Exception======>>", ex.toString());
    }
    return urlYoutube;

}



protected static String extractYoutubeId(String url) throws MalformedURLException
{
    String id = null;
    try
    {
        String query = new URL(url).getQuery();
        if (query != null)
        {
            String[] param = query.split("&");
            for (String row : param)
            {
                String[] param1 = row.split("=");
                if (param1[0].equals("v"))
                {
                    id = param1[1];
                }
            }
        }
        else
        {
            if (url.contains("embed"))
            {
                id = url.substring(url.lastIndexOf("/") + 1);
            }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Log.e("Exception", ex.toString());
    }
    return id;
}

I use above method like this :

getUrlVideoRTSP(current_url)

when currnt_url to test is :

current_url = "http://m.youtube.com/#/watch?v=FlsBObg-1BQ"

I try this code and it does not work

private  class Syncyoutube extends AsyncTask <Void , Void , Void>{

@Override
    protected void onPostExecute(Void result) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub
        super.onPostExecute(result);
        /**
        videoView.setMediaController(new MediaController(this)); //sets MediaController in the video view
        //   MediaController containing controls for a MediaPlayer                                  
        videoView.requestFocus();//give focus to a specific view 
        videoView.start();//starts the video
        */
    }


public String getRstpLinks(String code){
    String[] urls = new String[3];
    String link = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/" + code + "?alt=json";
    String json = getJsonString(link); // here you request from the server
    try {
        JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json);
        String entry = obj.getString("entry");
        JSONObject enObj = new JSONObject(entry);
        String group = enObj.getString("media$group");
        JSONObject grObj = new JSONObject(group);

            String url = thumbs.getString("url");
            urls[j] = url;
            Log.d(TAG, url);

}

the code crash in " videoView.setVideoURI(Uri.parse(rstp_url)); " line because null exeption i chack this and discover that code variable is =tFXS9krT2VY , ok.. but rstp_url variable in null


UdayKiran wrote this answer to similar Q , someone could explain what he means? i dont understand his answer

his answer :

Element rsp = (Element)entry.getElementsByTagName("media:content").item(1);

                              String anotherurl=rsp.getAttribute("url");

In gdata api only we are getting this type of links : rtsp://v3.cache7.c.youtube.com/CiILENy73wIaGQlOCTh0GvUeYRMYDSANFEgGUgZ2aWRlb3MM/0/0/0/video.3gp

These are playing in VideoView.


finally i dont use this code and videoview for steaming

i use youtube android api , it's work from android 2.2 not from 4.2 like i wrote in my Q , it was mastake.

the result of using rtsp it's poor video quality and need to deal with aspect ratio.


Solution

  • The following works for me:
    code = FlsBObg-1BQ in your case.
    You will get lots of urls, and I choose to return the best quality.

    private String getRstpLinks(String code){
        String[] urls = new String[3];
        String link = "http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/" + code + "?alt=json";
        String json = getJsonString(link); // here you request from the server
        try {
            JSONObject obj = new JSONObject(json);
            String entry = obj.getString("entry");
            JSONObject enObj = new JSONObject(entry);
            String group = enObj.getString("media$group");
            JSONObject grObj = new JSONObject(group);
            String content = grObj.getString("media$content");
            JSONObject cntObj = new JSONObject(group);
            JSONArray array = grObj.getJSONArray("media$content");
            for(int j=0; j<array.length(); j++){
                JSONObject thumbs = array.getJSONObject(j);
                String url = thumbs.getString("url");
                urls[j] = url;
                Log.d(TAG, url);
                //data.setThumbUrl(thumbUrl);
            }
    
    
            Log.v(TAG, content);
        } catch (Exception e) {
            Log.e(TAG, e.toString());
            urls[0] = urls[1] = urls[2] = null;
        }
        return urls[2];
    
    }
    

    getJsonString() method.

    public static String getJsonString(String url){
        Log.e("Request URL", url);
        StringBuilder buffer = new StringBuilder();
        HttpClient client = new DefaultHttpClient();
        HttpGet     request = new HttpGet( url );
        HttpEntity entity = null;
        try {
            HttpResponse response = client.execute(request);
    
            if( response.getStatusLine().getStatusCode() == 200 ){
                entity = response.getEntity();
                InputStream is = entity.getContent();
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
                String line = null;
                while( (line = br.readLine() )!= null ){
                    buffer.append(line);
                }
                br.close();
    
            }
        } catch (ClientProtocolException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }finally{
            try {
                entity.consumeContent();
            } catch (Exception e) {
                Log.e(TAG, "Exception = " + e.toString() );
            }
        }
    
        return buffer.toString();
    }
    

    Don't forget to wrap it inside async task because of a network request.
