How to get the direct url path to .flv video files on YouTube for Free
Posted by Kieran McCarthy in Bits Of Code, Plugins, YouTube on December 13, 2007
I had a reason this week to try and find the actual direct path to an.flv on YouTube, I was trying out the excellent JW Media Player by Jeroen Wijering it supports playback of flv files among a host of other formats heres a quick excerpt from his website
“JW Media Player supports playback of a single media file of any format the Flash Player can handle (MP3, FLV, SWF, JPG, PNG and GIF). It also supports RSS, XSPF and ATOM playlist (with mixed mediatypes and advertisement possibilities), a wide range of flashvars (settings) for tweaking both behavior and appearance and an extensive, documented javascript/actionscript API.”
The Problem?
While coding the xml playlist file for the player I tried adding a YouTube video but couldn’t find the actual path to the .flv file on YouTube’s servers.

Faster SkreemR Audio Search Add-on for Firefox (auto-suggest feature)
Posted by Kieran McCarthy in Bits Of Code, Firefox, HTML, MP3, Music, Plugins on November 27, 2007
Update 3rd Dec 07: James over at SkreemR has officially added my Firefox plugin to their 3rd party plugins “Tools” page view the page here
I coded this firefox add-on to query the SkreemR mp3 search site much quicker than the standard search tool add-on.
SkreemR currently provide a useful search add-on, it installs SkreemR search to your current list of search engines within Firefox. By searching for an artist or song you are directed to the SkreemR website and results are displayed.
I re-coded their XML install file to include a live suggest feature pulling related words as you type from Yahoo to speed up your search query.
