How to get flv youtube link in autoit?


Recommended Posts

I'm no expert, but I have downloaded some Flash video in the past. I have looked over the HTML source code. They seem to go to great lengths to mask the true URL of the .flv video. The programs out there specifically designed for downloading Youtube videos are having to stay updated all the time. Probably to counteract Youtube's new techniques. If you were able to find a way to discover the real URL, I bet your script would not work correctly for very long.

I hate to be a downer about this, but I also don't want to give you false hope that you will find a perfect solution. You might be better off researching if any of the Youtube downloaders allow using silent switches. If any of them do, then you could write a script to interact with that program and leave the hard work of constant updating up to them.

If you really want to pursue writing your own code, then I your best bet is to interface with a program called Winpcap, which is freeware. It is a packet capturing program.
