[YouTube-API] Re: Passing user agent string to m.youtube.com and getting correct RTSP link for that specific handset

Hello Ryan,

Based on what you describe, you're not using the official YouTube
playback mechanisms and are instead trying to obtain links to video
streams by scraping data from m.youtube.com. Please familiarize
yourself with the YouTube API Terms of Service:

https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms

Cheers,
