Using YouTube video
May 5th, 2009, 2:54am
 
I'm an experienced programmer, though new to Processing.  I'd like to build a project that incorporates multiple YouTube videos playing simultaneously.

It looks like I can only use the Movie class to play QuickTime videos.  The only thing I can think of is to build a sort of "web container" for each YouTube video and stream the videos directly from YouTube using their chromeless player.  Or, I could embed them into Flash files, but I'm not sure I can play those within Processing.  Is there a library for this?  I would appreciate help or direction you all might provide--thanks!

probably your best bet is to code your project in a standard java environment (eclipse or netbeans), handle the browser/web stuff from there and call processing to make the visual fireworks. in the main site "tutorials" page you can find how to call processing from a standard java IDE.

also you can search the forum for ways to make processing and flash talk to each other: you'll find some stuff but i'm not sure it's exactly what you need.
