[YouTube-API] Re: videoweb set-top box youtube app

Hello,

The only approved way of playing back YouTube content is to use one
of our official players. We don't expose the raw URLs for video
streams via any supported API (except for some low-quality RTSP URLs).

If you're developing an app for a set top box and your hardware can
run an instance of WebKit or another embedded browser that supports
HTML5 <video> and either the WebM or H.264 codecs, then you could use
the <iframe> embedded player to play back (at least some) YouTube
content.

Cheers,
