Is it possible for me to check if the streamer goes online using YouTube API? I try to build a Chrome extension for that functionality.
I'd be grateful for any response.

I'm sorry for bothering you guys with something as simple as this appears will be for you. I am trying to help develop a public Roku channel for an awesome minister I know who has 100's of videos. (hoping Naz Vanof or someone who knows a lot about this can help)
I attempted to find information on how to use Vimeo as a json feed provider and didn't find any tutorials. (the online help at Vimeo was no help).
First is there something that needs to be done for each video uploaded to my Vimeo account to prepare them to be used as json? I tried using the provided URL for my Vimeo account on the Direct Publisher feed link and it wouldn't accept it.
I've been searching for two days on this subject and not really getting anywhere and the only place I could see any related content was here (Naz). The videos I am using I have permission for from the developer but they are downloaded from Youtube through the Keepvid online program to my computer then uploaded to Vimeo. Is that an issue?
Sorry for the lack of knowledge but I am excited to get my feet wet on this and have a high aptitude in other fields, I'm just a total newbee in this field. starting two days ago I went through all the tutorials on Roku and did all the prep for establishing the developer account, and learned how to side load and alter channel templates, now I just need to know how to get my URL link to connect and to organize videos on Vimeo. Later I will get deeper with the Brightscript app. But what they have for the template for Direct Publisher would be perfect to get started.
Thanks and sorry again for this base level question.
Direct Publisher accepts two types of feeds, as described in the Direct Publisher Feed Specifications: their own custom JSON format (which is not something Vimeo offers I imagine, based on how new Direct Publisher is) and MRSS feeds (which Vimeo might offer, not sure). If Vimeo doesn't offer either of those, you likely won't be able to use Direct Publisher, unless you create your own in between API layer which transforms what Vimeo offers to what Direct Publisher needs.
According to other sources Vimeo does offer JSON feeds. And I did purchase Vimeo Pro but still could not access my files. I was wondering if the type of encoding on Youtube where I had to get the downloads to upload to Vimeo would interfere with the Direct Publisher feed? They don't support Youtube links so I used a Keppvid program to download from Youtube then upload to Vimeo. Vimeo accepted those downloads no problem. But my URL wouldn't work on Direct Publisher. I talked to Vimeo and they said my account URL should have worked. I'm stuck.
You need to compare the Vimeo feed to Roku's feed specification and figure out what the difference is that is causing it to not work, then load the Vimeo feed into a text editor and alter it to make it compatible. Alternatively and preferably, you would write a script that would do the conversion on your own server so you could have it run once a day and then deliver the feed from your server to Roku's server instead of directly from Vimeo.
The problem with using Vimeo is that housing your video in an external xml document, vimeo uses Ampersand in their URL. Sample:
https://player.vimeo.com/external/213601353.hd.mp4?s=71a24afbe4d4792806a08391263kjhisihe69fe2&profile_id=xxx
This needs to be modified to:
https://player.vimeo.com/external/213601353.hd.mp4?s=71a24afbe4d4792806a0839126c484c175269fe2&profile_id=174
Once you make this change the xml URL will be parsed properly. The URL was having the ampersand stripped which is why it may not have been working. I have tested this with all of our vimeo videos and they work properly now.
Hope this helps.
We have a web based system that we are looking at replacing our existing "help system" from uploading flash videos directly to our website to instead "embedding" content we upload to our vimeo account. We have setup a vimeo pro account and these videos need to be "private" i.e. not accessible to the general public. Which API version should I use? And do you have any sample code in say PHP I could take a peek at with the functionality we are after
The Advanced and Simple API's will no longer receive new features, and soon you will not be able to create new apps for them.
Vimeo has moved towards a unified API, which you can read about at http://developer.vimeo.com/api. Make sure to use the api through api.vimeo.com, not vimeo.com/api/rest/v2.
Vimeo has an official PHP library, with some very basic examples that you can see at http://github.com/vimeo/vimeo.php
When I use youtube video upload API on mobile phone it uploads the video but before redirect to the redirect_url, most of the times it throws this error:
url with error: http://uploads.gdata.youtube.com/action/FormDataUpload/FSVfvf45g45g4FFDSGSdfgr24g3t34t3EFVFFDSFGgg3435?nexturl=http://my-redirect-url.com:80/uploaded
This page cannot be loaded via the chrome data compression proxy. Try reloading this page.
when I just reload the page it redirects to the right redirect_url and the video is uploaded appropriately.
What might be a solution to fix this error?
I am the tech lead for the Chrome data compression proxy. We happen to have some special case logic to deal with YouTube URLs in the proxy which would cause this, but this seems not to be working as expected. Can you give me an example of your use of the API? Is this a POST request? Seems like something we should be able to fix.
Youtube or Google updated something in apps/youtube_api (unclear what) but when I accesses the app console it was different, then I created a new app and it worked.
I'm trying to use YouTube API v2.0 to let users authenticate into their YouTube account and be able to upload videos from there... but I want to do this application in AS3 as an adobe air application.
I searched the api but I couldn't find any proof that I can do this with AS3? thought to drop a line here and ask if it's possible at all? specially being able to upload videos through the adobe air desktop app?
If possible, is there any link you could give me to get me started faster?
This appears to be a google code project written in as3 that supports uploading videos in desktop air apps (see the example AirYouTubeUploaderSampleApp).
I wondered if anyone here could give some clarfication on wehther the iTunes and Flickr API's can be called up via https. This is for a facebook app.
These two API's are being blocked in the app due to non https call ups via JSon. I tried a few fixes but iTunes and Flickr do not seem to offer https for their API's. Am I wasting my time?
Any help or guidance would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.
The iTunes Search API just got support for https. You can find the announcement on the affiliate resources site here:
