How to convert Youtube URL to RTSP URL?
<p>In my project I want to dowload a Youtube URL and play it in media player but as far I have searched I got an idea that Youtube URLs can be played only if they are converted into a RTSP file. I don't have any idea of how to do that. It would be very helpful if you send me a sample project.</p>
