But it will work for youtube only.
In my app case, video url is not fixed it can be youtube/vimeo/espn etc.
So what should I do for it. I have video url only and on basis of that url I need to play that video.

As of yesterday I got an error saying it couldn't parse the object.

I edited this piece of code:

vdldr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
vdldr.onload = function () {
x = decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length)))));
y = JSON.parse(x).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;
return b(y);
};

to:

vdldr = Ti.Network.createHTTPClient();
vdldr.onload = function () {
y = JSON.parse(decodeURIComponent(this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length))).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;
return b(y);
};

And it worked again!

Format of the JSON returned by YouTube seems to have changed. fmt_stream_map now seems to be within a 'player_data' object instead of the 'video' object.

Try replacing:

this.responseText.length))).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

with

this.responseText.length))).content.player_data["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

I've got a return failed parse JSON

and I've fix with change

x = decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(decodeURIComponent(this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length)))));
y = JSON.parse(x).content.video["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

to:

x = this.responseText.substring(4, this.responseText.length);
y = JSON.parse(x).content.player_data["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;

I just remove "decodeURIComponent"

It's work on good on iOS simulator and device. not yet test on android.

ademahendra?

I had the same problem that you and I did the same change you did and I get an error:
"Unable to parse JSON atring at line 60".
This is my line 60:
"y = JSON.parse(x).content.player_data["fmt_stream_map"][0].url;"

What do you suggest that I can do?

Thank you.

I already tried this codes:

var vidWin = Titanium.UI.createWindow({
title : 'Video View Demo',
backgroundColor : '#fff'
});

// check for network
if (Titanium.Network.networkType === Titanium.Network.NETWORK_NONE) {
Titanium.API.info(' no connection ');
} else {
Titanium.API.info(' connection present ');
}

var videoPlayer = Titanium.Media.createVideoPlayer({
top : 50,
autoplay : true,
backgroundColor : 'blue',
height : 300,
width : 300,
mediaControlStyle : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_CONTROL_DEFAULT,
scalingMode : Titanium.Media.VIDEO_SCALING_ASPECT_FIT
});

videoPlayer.url = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7yTGXoHsHws'; // replace this url with your video url
vidWin.add(videoPlayer);
vidWin.open();

And almost make the video run... The problem is that appears a loading icon running but the video doesn't play!
To play videos from youtube all video has to load before, using Titanium? I don't think so, right?
