The following Php-Script is able to download videos from youtube in three different formats (MP4 for hight, FLV for medium and 3GP for low quality). In addition the script provides a preview of the current video.
Here’s the source:
<?php
if(isset($_GET['u'])){
$v = urldecode($_GET['u']);
if($_GET['fmt'] == 17){ // 3gp
header("Content-Type: video/3gp");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"video.3gp\"");
$v.="&fmt=17";
}
elseif($_GET['fmt'] == 18){ // mp4
header("Content-Type: video/mp4");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"video.mp4\"");
$v.="&fmt=18";
}
else{ // flv
header("Content-Type: video/x-flv");
header("Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=\"video.flv\"");
}
readfile($v);
flush();
exit();
}else{
$yu = 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qGyfaoUAWtM';
if(isset($_GET["yu"])) $yu = $_GET["yu"];
$c = file_get_contents($yu);
if(preg_match('/"video_id": "(.*?)"/', $c, $m) && preg_match('/"t": "(.*?)"/', $c, $m1)){
$id = $m[1];
$t = $m1[1];
$u = "http://www.youtube.com/get_video?video_id=".$id."&t=".$t;
}
?>
