My application has been suspended

[nrbn]

My application has been suspended because it violates the unauthorized use of copyrighted content policy. Is it not allowed to use this plugin to play video from youtube? I had some issue before but not for copyrighted content. It looks like it not allowed to get mp4 link of youtube videos. Here is more info:

Should i use any youtube api key some place to get permission to show this videos?

This plugin is based on another npm plugin and is basically just a simple HTML parser. It opens a certain youtube page and tries to parse out the raw video url. No guarantee that it will work, and will probably stop working all together in the future.

I wouldn't recommend using this plugin in any production application. This could be treated as illegal by Google and YouTube, and your application might be suspended.

No further development or maintenance will be done on this plugin.

@manijak Since, this plugin cannot be used, could you suggest something else? Ive exhausted all my resources looking at nativescript-youtubeplayer, which is really buggy and unrealiable,webview, again,buggy and even at android-youtubeplayer, which is close to impossible to use in a template. All of which have turned out to be useless. Could you give some recommendations as to where to look next?

@johnny-stevie Yeah I understand that this is a bit of a hassle. To be honest I'm using this parser for iOS together with the nativescript-videoplayer plugin, until the parser stops working, and it probably will...

For Android I use the following code to start a new activitiy for the video, and it will play the video either with the standard youtube player on the device or open the browser and play it there.

try {
            var intent = new android.content.Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, android.net.Uri.parse("vnd.youtube://" + selectedVideoItem.id.videoId));
            intent.setFlags(android.content.Intent.FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK);
            application.android.foregroundActivity.startActivity(intent);
        }catch(e) {
            var secondaryIntent = new android.content.Intent(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW, android.net.Uri.parse(selectedVideoItem.videoUrl));
            application.android.foregroundActivity.startActivity(secondaryIntent);
        }
