This isn't for the "Average Joe". This is a module for other addons to use. It's main feature it that it converts the video URL to the actual playable video URL. One of the hardest parts of coding a video addon is to access the actual playable URL. Not only does it take some complex parsing and various tricks to accomplish, the method also needs to change occasionally to adapt to changes in the site.

The youtube-dl project works with hundreds of sites and is updated constantly for changes in those sites.

So for instance the YouTube addon recently had issues playing videos because of changes in the YouTube site. If this module had existed at that time and the YouTube addon was using it it would not have needed any intervention by the author to account for those changes, because the youtube-dl project was quickly updated.
Another example of it's usage is in my Forum Browser addon. It allows it to play video links from a variety of sites without me having to do anything but pass in the video page URL.

Sounds like clever stuff. Appreciate your time and effort in explaining. I take it that the end user need not install anything, but would be built-in by the addon developers.

But if you pass channel or playlist url, it seems to fail saying No suitable extractor found. So, right now i have to extract the every single video link from the playlist or channel. Can you check if playlist/channel url is playable for you.

Here is the function i have:

url = 'https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzPO5IPzbQwq4VJxejIMwMw' # This dont work
url='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07FYdnEawAQ' # This works
vid = YDStreamExtractor.getVideoInfo(url,resolve_redirects=True,quality=1)
print vid

if vid.hasMultipleStreams():
for s in vid.streams():
#print 's is %s' %s
xbmc_url = s['xbmc_url']
choices.append(xbmc_url)
return choices
pass
#index += 1
vid.selectStream(choices) #You can also pass in the the dict for the chosen stream

stream_url = vid.streamURL()
return stream_url

Thanks for the help
Edit : It looks like your _blacklist is the reason it fails to extract. So, i just comment this out.

I think the addon is grabbing segmented files of Tudou links even though a link to the full video exist. An example would be http://www.tudou.com/v/6xMNLKMJxKQ/&resourceId=0_04_05_99/v.swf

The addon that I am using in addition to this script addon is the baykoreans addon.

This is the resolved url, and you can notice _seg_ in the url, meaning it is a segmented video. Is this fixable?

Thank you!
