Hi,

Im looking to know is there a way to stream the videos from youtube onto my web site domain and let my website distribute them?

I'm trying to work around the fact that my server has no proxy rules but my client machine (which can browser the web page on the server) has proxy settings that block you tube.

If I could stream the videos to my web server to digest and redistribute, that'd be perfect!

Thanks!

Rob

No, there isn't. Any attempt to do so is a violation of YouTubes Terms Of Service. You'll get a "nice" letter from their lawyers telling you to cease and desist.

Once uploaded, the content belongs to YouTube. They have sole rights for distribution in any form and require their permission if you're going to attempt to redistribute their content. Since I doubt you'll be redistributing their ads too good luck getting their permission.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news to Dave, but there is a supported .NET API for YouTube:

https://code.google.com/p/google-api-dotnet-client/[^]

In fact, there are a lot of API's:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/v3/libraries[^]

And developer documentation:

I had a look at those api's and although they do allow you to get info about video's they always force you to link to or embed an iframe from YouTube. So ultimately they host the video which is what I wanted to get around.
