Download mp4, flv url link from youtube videoID

Question

I want to know working of youtube-dl. How I want to make youtube downloader for android. I just want to download mp4 or flv formats from youtube urls .

How youtube-dl videoID returns a downlaodable URL . I just want to know how I can do this in Android without youtube-dl.

Because I do not know how to run and install python Script on a PHP or Android server.

Answer 1

youtube-dl is open source , so it’s no secret how it works. You can just read the source code. A good start is youtube ejector .
