AIRTube Application Updated

I have just uploaded a new version of the AIRTube application. There was an issue with playing the downloaded video which was due to me not closing the FileStream object. Thanks Grant for letting me know! I have also changed it so that it names the video based on the video ID. It doesn’t have the video name in the filename but at least it won’t overwrite other files that you have downloaded.

It would be optimal if I implemented automatic updates for this application but unfortunately I don’t have the time to do it. Hopefully YouTube won’t change their API anytime soon.

    Thanks Lee, the drag and drop is superb. It was great to talk to you a bit at FITC. And nice job on your presentation and panel.

    Hi! Thanks for the update :) I’ll try it now!
    But just one “bug” (if we can call it like that): you didn’t compiled with the same key, so that the installer don’t replace the old version (we first have to remove the older one)

    Anyway, good Job Lee! Cheerz!

    Great little app. Works nicely when the college firewall blocks YouTube streaming.

    Thanks!

    Hi Lee,

    …about the automatic update implementation: this would make an excellent issue for a new gotoandlearn session, wouldn’t it? ;-) ))

    i’d dig it – have a great weekend

    Hi Lee,

    Thanks for the source.
    For the downloader you use get_video.php on the youtube site.
    I want to do something a bit different. I heed the path to the flv file, but without retrieving the file. Any ideas how I can achieve that ?

    Thank you,
    George

    Yeah, I get the ‘Invalid URL’ error message as well. This is because the IO_ERROR event is fired. When I use Lee’s code in my own app I get ‘*** Security Sandbox Violation ***’ traced out to the Output window. It could be an issue with YouTubes cross-domain policy file. If you point your browser to http://www.youtube.com/crossdomain.xml you can see that they are only allowing access from their own domains. I’m guess you now have to use YouTube’s own API’s – http://apiblog.youtube.com/2008/10/as3-youtube.html
