Getting Started Newbie Questions
#1

Is there a way to pull in a list of videos from a YouTube Channel? For example, I have a couple of videos here - youtube.com/thatssopanda - and I would like to display these videos within my app. Is there a way to do this?

Thanks Rob! I’m not sure what Corona would do without you!

This is awesome! I am going to use this on a future “Hub App” if you will. Question, is there anyway to integrate videos from YouTube or other video sites into an App. As in you can play it straight through the App without having to open the YouTube App and/or Webpage? Thanks in Advance!

Corona SDK has some video play back facilities, like media.playVideo but it can’t be used with video streaming services and with services like YouTube you can’t get directly to the video, you have to pretty much use their player.  But what you could do (and I’ve not tried it) is launch the local YouTube app to play the video.  See this page:

You can  then use system.openURL() to launch the video directly in the YouTube player app.

Well, atleast we can open the YouTube App i suppose… Corona really needs an integrated media player.
