Resolume 3 Avenue streaming Youtube

[yochee]

What about a (multiple) mp4/flv-stream input from youtube into R3? Maybe with some kind of playlist-system?
Would be great to play and mix the newest musikvideos from youtube with resolume superstar effects

Hi,
That whould indeed be a nice feature.
You can use VideoGet http://nuclear-coffee.com/ to download Youtube clips.

This could be a good freeframe plugin / AS3 class. I was thinking about this only last night - if you could select a streaming web source for video that could be placed in a channel then the possibilities for real time video mix work could be amazing. Why only video - you could also stream audio - live news broadcasts for super immediate reportage!!! If this can then be recorded like the old resolume it could open up a mad set of possibilities.

Once the flash features of resolume have been introduced it would be not to difficult to construct a class which could do this. I guess the next question would be - how many venues have accessible wired broadband - otherwise - wireless piracy could introduce a nice unpredicatble element to mixes.

Check out http://www.neave.tv for a working soloution of how this could be applied ...

Yes, there are definitely some sites where you can save/download/stream youtube videos from, e.g.:
http://www.savevideodownload.com/download.php
http://keepvid.com/

would it be better to get the clip loaded and instantly converted into a vj-friendly codec or would a stream make the deal? eventually streaming could be difficult if they changed the websites streaming code?!
maybe as a first step an interface would be great, which just can play webfiles from their URLs (e.g. www.7dex.de/xyz.avi)

Ain´t this vlc-player freeware? would it be possible to build and integrate a resolume webstream interface from this? maybe it could appear beneath the sources as a capture device... or im completely going wrong and this will never work just like playing vobs directly from dvd.

wireless privacy sound great.. more and more clubs and cafés are getting wireless, remember the internetcafés. If i had a club i would have internet/dsl/cable

well, and here´s a walkthrough how to to it by mkultra

but unfortunately im unable to compile this 2 a working resotube-swf ..

Yeah, that tutorial is out of date--
What seems to be going on is that Google/youTube changes how they handle the video IDs on a regular basis. The standard way to get a youTube FLV is to use a PHP file to parse the return of the query using "curl" (for instance, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hMnk7lh9M3o) and it will give you the real, actual FLV file.

There's a lot of "download any file from youtube" sites out there that do just that-- unfortunately, all youTube has to do is change the name of the argument that holds the FLV. Since I first wrote that 'tute, the arg has been called "swf_args", "swfArgs", etc-- meaning I have to rewrite the PHP file to search for the correct argument. As you can imagine, trying to "google" a solution to hacking a google-owned site (youTube) is not so successful!

Since I wanted to write something stable, or at least something that I wouldn't break every week, I went ahead and started using the official Google chromeless player API. The documentation sucks, but at least it's stable and supported by google. Unfortunately, I can't really use it to download a video-- just play it. And it skins the stupid youTube logo on top of it as well. Works for the Rez player utility-- but that's about it. If anyone has another, more elegant solution, let me know!

Here's a link to a working Flash youtube plugin-- it uses the Google API with OAuth, so it should be future-proof for like... a minute

It does play/pause, trim in/out points, and pretty robust error checking so if you're trying to play a protected or restricted video it will fail politely. I've been working on it for a while, let me know what you think!
