# Yt Streams

A little library to fetch video stream info from a YouTube video.

**YouTube is very fickle with its responses and results may vary.**

## Install

### Rails example

Add this line to your Gemfile:

```

gem 'yt_streams', github: 'riencroonenborghs/yt_streams'

```

and run:

```

bundle install

```

That's it really. Now you can add a controller and some views that will lookup a URL and return the streams.

See [Yt](https://github.com/riencroonenborghs/yt) as an example.

### Ruby example

In the project folder run `irb`

```

> require './lib/yt_streams'

 => true

> require 'pp'

 => true

> PP.pp YtStreams.info('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID')

#],

 @title="video title",

 @url="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEOID">

 => #> 

```

## Usage

```

YtStreams.info()

```

If everything goes well, you will get a YtStreams::VideoInfo object back.

This will contain the title and all associated video streams for the YouTube video.

Typically a YtStreams::Stream will have stream related information like the codec used. Most likely you'd be more interested in **url**.
