YouTube Grabber/Uploader - how would I go about developing this?


Recommended Posts

OK, basically this is what I need.

 

I need to be able to put in a YouTube or Break.com (or Google Video, etc) URL and have that selected video information to be stored in a MySQL database. I also need for it to create a screenshot (thumbnail) of the video.

 

That's it! The video doesn't have to be downloaded, just all the information needs to be in the MySQL database so I can output the videos however I want in PHP/HTML.

 

How should I start in reference to getting the information? Anyone have any ideas?

and i guess storing it in your db is not the smart way i guess because the site might change the dir or delete that file you want in their server that will give you a prob

 

i guess better to read the page and get the necessary info you need  :-*
