Play a YouTube video using JavaFX components

I know that we can play a video ( http://zzz/xx/123.flv ), by using the Media View component in JavaFX. In the similar way, is it possible to play a YouTube video in JavaFX ?
Thank you, for any help in advance.

You might want to take a look at [this thread|http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=5446865], but barring the theoretically possible "hacks" mentioned there, not really.

Play a YouTube video in JavaFX?

Moderator action: deleted rant and cleaned up what remains.
I am trying to make this code play an FLV video, and it doesn't show any video. Only Music. How can I convert, for instance, a YouTube video, to play in JavaFX? If I download a YouTube video, how can i encode it?

After the question title has been cleaned up, I can see now that it relates to youtube video playback.
Just embed the youtube html5 video player in a webview and stream video from youtube.
This will work for videos that youtube has made compatible with their html5 player (about 30% it seems).
Here is a sample embedding a youtube hosted trailer uploaded by sony pictures.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.*;
import javafx.scene.web.WebView;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class YouTubePlayer extends Application {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { launch(args); }
@Override public void start(final Stage stage) throws Exception {
    final WebView webView = new WebView();
    webView.getEngine().loadContent(
      "<iframe width=\"640\" height=\"390\" src=\"http://www.youtube.com/embed/IyaFEBI_L24\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen></iframe>"
    stage.setScene(new Scene(webView, 660, 410));
    stage.show();

Play YouTube Video Using Movie URL

InDesign CS3
Hello,
Is it possible to insert a movie that uses a URL to a video on YouTube? YouTube URL's do not contain the actual file name/type and I believe that is why I am unable to play the video - however I thought I would check and see if anyone has had success doing this.
My goal is to be able to play the YouTube video within the exported PDF.

Safari stop playing embedded youtube videos

Hi
I am having trouble with Safari 4.0.5 (6531.22.7) which suddenly refuse to play embedded youtube videos. Safari show the video in a web page but when played the youtube default play display "an error occurred, please try again." and Safari display in the status bar "one error in opening the page, for more information, choose Window->Activity". Now when I look in the activity window it show "forbidden" beside the video file.
Strangely I can play the same video from the youtube main page without any errors.
I have already done the following:
- checked permissions with Disk Utility.
- Reset Safari
- Empty caches
- Removed com.apple.Safari.plist
- Uninstalled, re-Installed Flash plug-in
but the problem still persist. Help in resolving will be highly appreciated.

HI and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
YouTube streams content using the Flash plugin ... Flash Player support on 64-bit operating systems
Since you are running Snow Leopard, *try running Safari is opening in 32-bit mode, not 64*. Right or control click the Safari icon in the Applications folder, then click: Get Info In the Get Info window click the black disclosure triangle next to General so it faces down. Select 32 bit mode. Also, (in that same window) *make sure Safari is NOT running in Rosetta.*
  Web pages now include a small icon or 'favicon' which is visible in the address bar and next to bookmarks. These icons take up disk space and slow Safari down. It is possible to erase the icons from your computer and start fresh. *To delete Safari's icon cache using the Finder, open your user folder, navigate to ~/Library/Safari/ and move this file "webpageIcons.db to the Trash.*
bpageIcons.db to the Trash.*

Only safari adress bar visible after playing a youtube video.

Only safari adress bar visible after playing a youtube video, rest of the screen is white, what can I do?

If you are using Safari for Mac, it could be a Safari extension causing this.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Extensions tab.
If you have any installed, turn that off, quit then relaunch Safari, try a video.
It would really help when you post to tell us which operating system you are using, Mac or Windows.
You could also try troubleshooting the Flash plugin which is required for most of the content on YouTube.

Flash causes pc to freeze when playing 2 youtube videos or flash videos at the same time

I dont know what has caused this issue but since around january my pc has been freezing to the point where i have to hard reset if i play 2 youtube videos or any flash videos at the same time. the whole pc becomes unresponsive when this happens. all my drivers are up to date so i dont know where this issue is coming from.
My specs:
Browser- Firefox 28.0
OS: Windows 7 home edition 64 bit
Case: Raidmax Platinum
Motherboard:ASUS M5A99X EVO AM3
CPU: AMD fx 8350 (4.6ghz oc)
Cpu Cooler: ZALMAN CNPS10X Performa 120mm
GPU: msi GTX 670 power edition
power Supply: Kingwin Kx 1000w
RAM:2x4gb(8gb) CORSAIR Vengeance240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500gb and 640gb
Bluray: LG Bluray Drive & Burner

There's two ways you can go about this Amanda.
1. Set the length of your images for example 8 seconds each. Offset the photo's like a ladder effect and add the animating keyframes. The red dots in the image below represent the start/finish points of the animation.
2. The other option is to set the length of all the same, then use keyframes to set the start/ finish of the animation.
I always use example 1, however example 2 would probably be easier to understand?
Hope that helps

Firefox 3.6.3 wont play embedded youtube videos. It comes up with "an error occured please try again later. this happens all the time

Firefox 3.6.3 wont play embedded youtube videos. It comes up with "an error occurred please try again later. this happens all the time. If you click to go to youtube the clip plays.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

I was having the same issue up until I found a solution myself a few minutes ago. If you have "Accept Third Party Cookies" un-checked it will not allow the embedded "Third party" youtube videos to load. You can either Check the box to allow third party cookies or add an exception to allow youtube.com WITHOUT the www. You just want it to be Youtube.Com.
To do so just go to Tools: Options: Privacy: Exceptions: Type in Youtube.com and click Allow. Then click Close and OK. It should start working immediately.

Hi. I just bought my very first mac. I cant get to see youtube videos using safari. it says to upgrade my flashplayer. do I have to download the flashplayer? doesnt safari has it installed?

hi. I just bought my very first mac. I cant get to see youtube videos using safari. it says to upgrade my flashplayer. do I have to download the flashplayer?

It's no longer pre-installed for a number of reasons. Not the least of which is Adobe Flash requires such frequent security updates that any version installed at the factory is pretty much garunteed to be dangerously out of date by the time you get the machine in your hands.
Just go to adobe.com and download the latest version of flash player.

Unable to play youtube videos - using proxy (squid)

Youtube videos do not play in my configuration. Most youtube content appears, but attempting to play a video results in a popup message "This movie could not be played". Sorry for the length of the post, but I'm trying to get enough documentation down here to save some time for the next person who runs into this.
My basic network configuration is:
ipod->wireless-router->squid-proxy->pix->internet
*I am analyzing logfiles from the proxy and the pix, and I have network traces from the proxy.
There are 2 issues so far with proxy access from the youtube application on the fw v2.2 ipod touch. After hitting the first issue, I made a call to tech support who pointed me to an older apple discussion thread about a similar issue which indicated the problem could be fixed by "reconfiguring the proxy server", but no details were given in that discussion thread about exactly what needed to be 'reconfigured'. I believe have figured out what was going wrong, and I document it as issue 1 below in case anyone else runs into it.
Issue 1 (which I managed to get solved) is that the youtube application sends a 'Host:' header pointing to gdata.youtube.com, but the requested url is actually iphone-wu.apple.com. Squid rewrites the 'host' header to iphone-wu.apple.com, and the target server fails the request with a 404. A solution (for squid) is to use a redirector to rewrite these url's to actually go to gdata.youtube.com and to set the 'urlrewrite_hostheader off' value.
Unfortunately, resolving issue #1 was not sufficient to get youtube off the launch pad:
Issue 2 (which seems unsolveable at the moment) is that the youtube application is ignoring proxy settings for some of its content requests. In addition to the proxy requirement, I have egress firewalling and logging set up. I observe the youtube application asking for many url's via the proxy and then I observe the egress firewall deny an attempt at a direct access to port 80 on an external server BYPASSING the proxy settings. Without opening up the egress firewall rules (and thereby disable requirement for a proxy), this makes the youtube application inoperative.
If anyone has some insight on how I can get this working, I'd appreciate it. I will attempt another support call tomorrow with my logfiles in hand...

Thanks for posting! -- I'm glad the info is helpful to you. There is more that I have been deliberately keeping quiet about while trying to work through a support call that was logged 27-dec-08. Without going into a lot of detail, the support call is still open, and I'm still working on getting a resolution from apple engineering. I hope that by providing this information, my support call doesn't get terminated as having been "solved" - which it most definitely has not been. It is my belief that only a firmware update will fix this.
(And as an aside ... I've spoken with three or four support reps at apple, and all have been very nice and have tried to help out! I've been quite pleased with the front end to their support org. I just really want to hear that someone has LOOKED at the code and found the error and it will be fixed in a future update!)
A work-around for the youtube and itunes applet failures is to set your squid up as a transparent proxy. That way, the network accesses that these applets make that attempt to bypass the proxy are hidden and the applets "work".
I would most certainly appreciate any further corroboration of this misbehavior -- more than one site being able to demonstrate these applets bypassing the proxy would be quite helpful.
(Note also that the lastest firmware 2.2.1 also exhibits this issue)
Thanks.

Problem in Playing YouTube Videos using Safari. It says "500 Internal Server Error" every time I am going to play video?

Is there anybody who can help me fix this issue? I encountered this problem for almost to weeks now. I can't play video on You Tube using Safari browser for my MacBook Pro. Every time I tried to play video on You Tube. It shows
"500 Internal Server Error"
Sorry, something went wrong.
A team of highly trained monkeys has been dispatched to deal with this situation. (Followed by codes)
When I checked my other computer using Google Chrome and Firefox browser. There is no problem in playing You Tube videos.

From the Safari menu bar, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. Test.

When I play a youtube video in one tab, then scroll up and down in any tab, the audio from the youtube video gets choppy and cuts out for a second. How to fix?

I just want to be able to go on other websites and scroll while playing music (smoothly) on youtube in another tab.
I don't think this happened until after I updated my firefox to 13 and my shockwave flash plug-in to 11.3.300.257
How can I fix this cutting out and choppy-ness in youtube videos when I scroll?
Thanks so much!
