Can I use the YoutubeAPI on a web-app to record and save/upload a video with out it being broadcast live?
Use the method Videos: insert to upload video using YouTube api. About saving/downloading, I think, it's against their Terms of Service.
You shall not download any Content unless you see a “download” or
similar link displayed by YouTube on the Service for that Content.
You can see this SO post for further reference on downloading content in YouTube.
Youtube does not support recording straight to their platform anymore.

I need to develop a Google Action which streams an audio/radio stream.
i thought about media response.
But the documentation says: "Audio for playback must be in a correctly formatted .mp3 file. Live streaming is not supported."

Can someone give me an hint, what i have to do to stream an audio-stream? i found a german google action "baden fm" which streams their radio. But not sure how they do it.
Kind Regards
Stefan
The only ways to do this currently:
Stream it in chunks of MP3 files, using the callback at the end of streaming to stream the next chunk
Getting listed on TuneIn, Radio.com or iHeartRadio. From observation, Baden FM seems to be using TuneIn
Through an App Action
Use a Web site link that starts streaming via BrowseCarousel or Button
Last 2 options are not helpful if you're going after non-browser-enabled devices.
Also saw this thread which has some insight on MP3 size/duration: How can I tell Actions on Google to stream audio?
Google Actions do not currently support live audio streaming. I'm in contact with them but it seems they have no ETA to support this.
I was successful doing so with an mp3 live stream:
NPR: https://npr-ice.streamguys1.com/live.mp3?ck=1597372625378
but not with mpd
BBC test stream: https://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/dash/ondemand/testcard/1/client_manifest-audio.mpd
or with the HLS that my company uses ( .m3u8, can't publish the link publicly )
Note: added links as text/code since I'm not sure whether their companies policies are cool with them being indexed.
I have got a public share nest camera address from my friend.
Instead of using a web browser for seeing the video, I want to use a VLC player to video stream. This way allows me to use many other features of VLC to do video analytics on the video.
How to do it?
I was able to do this in these steps:
Go to the public video share URL. It should be something like this:http://video.nest.com/live/pSgnOZ0s4t
If you use developer tool on chrome and see network traffic ....look for a URL with .m3u8 in the end... it will be something like this:https://stream-delta.dropcam.com/nexus_aac/37451e60aeac457f9800704f1662147e/playlist.m3u8
Once you get that open that file in a text editor....you will get something like this inside the file
#EXTM3U
#EXT-X-VERSION:3
#EXT-X-STREAM-INF:BANDWIDTH=400816,CODECS="avc1.77.31,mp4a.40.2",RESOLUTION=1280x720
chunklist_w391480529.m3u8
The stream URL is then
https://stream-delta.dropcam.com/nexus_aac/37451e60aeac457f9800704f1662047e/chunklist_w391480529.m3u8
Once you have this then install livestreamer to extract video like this:
livestreamer "hls://https://stream-delta.dropcam.com/nexus_aac/37451e60aeac457f9800704f1662047e/chunklist_w391480509.m3u8" best -o nest_video.ts
This will save the file to your disk.
I used this to avoid nest aware subscription. Unfortunately, they charge so much for that service. When someone can just save the video to a disk and upload to a cheap cloud option...
I wrote a page that takes a public Nest video url and returns an HLS media .m3u8 streaming url
get media url for nest/ dropcam cameras
I uploaded a video to Azure Media Services, and clicked the "publish" button. That gave me a publish URL.
I then used the Azure Media Player (http://amp.azure.net/libs/amp/latest/docs/samples.html) to embed my video content on a page.
The problem I'm having is that the video is choppy to start. Perhaps it's the encoding of the video, but I want to make sure, if I want to stream a video, using the media player or anything else, do I just use the "Publish URL"? OR is there a different way of requesting video content to "smooth stream"?
Yes. You use the publish URL for VOD and you have a few url parameters to change the type of streaming if needed. Default is smooth streaming.
Smooth Streaming
{streaming endpoint name-media services account name}.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/{locator ID}/{filename}.ism/Manifest
HLS Streaming
{streaming endpoint name-media services account name}.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/{locator ID}/{filename}.ism/Manifest(format=m3u8-aapl)
MPEG Dash Streaming
{streaming endpoint name-media services account name}.streaming.mediaservices.windows.net/{locator ID}/{filename}.ism/Manifest(format=mpd-time-csf)
See what works best for you
You can also test on this page and try the advanced settings

The Azure Media Services test page has changed since the last post. The new URL is:
https://ampdemo.azureedge.net/azuremediaplayer.html
Is there a url I can go to to check the status of video I am uploading to YouTube via the API?
I went to this page
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_checking_video_status
which told me to go to this URL
https://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/users//uploads
But all I got back is an RSS feed of videos that are already uploaded (Published).
I am looking for unpublished videos and the associated progress.
I am using resumable upload so I am think if 10% of the video got uploaded I should be able to see that somewhere?
In Java sample you can request progress status via MediaHttpUploader.getProgress() or MediaHttpUploader.getNumBytesUploaded() "https://code.google.com/p/youtube-api-samples/source/browse/samples/java/youtube-cmdline-uploadvideo-sample/src/main/java/com/google/api/services/samples/youtube/cmdline/youtube_cmdline_uploadvideo_sample/UploadVideo.java#213"
C# would be really similar.
In my website i got succeeded in embedding videos from YouTube but i'm not getting the comments made on that videos. So is there any way to get that comments embedded with the video in my website. Thanks in advance.
Th easiest way to access YouTube data, without authentication or the YouTube API, is by using the YouTube Query URLS.
For Comments, process this URL:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/{$videoId}/comments
Additional meta data on the video can be accessed using processing this URL:
http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/{$videoId}
