[YouTube-API] Streaming Video to Something Other Than Website

Hey guys,

I'm a programmer and recently I've been doing a lot of work on graphics rendering and manipulation both at work and on my own.

One thing I was wondering is if it is possible to embed a YouTube video anywhere other than a website.

The big example I'm thinking of right now is the possibility of taking a YouTube video and embedding it into a video game world (on a video game screen,) preferably server side so that all players on a given server can see the video on their game screen assuming their client supports it.

All I really need to know is if this is possible and if so, is it possible to apply standard graphics transformations to the embedded video to skew/scale/move it based on the game world and camera angle.

Also I came across the issue of requiring a link to the video, so if that were an issue I would fully be able to provide some sort of link through the game whether by a command or a GUI.  If there are any ToS issues please let me know as well, so that on the assumption that this is possible, I can prepare for those problems.

Thanks in advance!
