How to play a video from a URL?

edited June 2016 in Library Questions

Hello all, it has been some time since I last posted, glad to see that the website is doing well (as usual :D). Anyways, I was wondering if someone could give me some guidance about my aforementioned topic. I was wanting to build a program where you can watch videos online through Processing. Now I don't even know if that is possible or not, but in my previous attempts, I tried directly using the URL, a way that someone who wants to use a URL of a picture. Next I tried being more specific when I put in the name of the video, and instead of putting a name like "movie.mov" I put the URL of the video. Now I have searched online and I have found some people with similar questions, and I know it has been asked. And in those inquiries I understand that the end of the link has to end in ".mov" or ".mp4"? I am not so sure about that. But I also wanted to get it to the point at where I can watch videos from a YouTube (or Dailymotion or any other video network) site.

Thank you all for reading
