About PSYouTubeExtractor

PSYouTubeExtractor ("BetterYouTube") Edit: This was a nice experiment, but there's now a better solution that doesn't involve UIWebViews: https://github.com/larcus94/LBYouTubeView Displaying YouTube is a pain in the ass. This class makes it a lot more bearable by trying to extract the native mp4 when available. If that doesn't work, we fall back to the UIWebView YouTube plugin. There are two classes available: PSYouTubeExtractor Does some crazy things behind the scenes and extracts the mp4 of a YouTube video. I use an UIWebView to get the data, as Google does a pretty good job of obfuscating their html content. [PSYouTubeExtractor extractorForYouTubeURL:self.youTubeURL success:^(NSURL URL) { NSLog(@"Finished extracting: %@", URL); // show the movie! } failure:^(NSError error) { NSLog(@"Failed to query mp4: %@", error); }]; Note that PSYouTubeExtractor is not a NSOperation, as there's some craziness behind the scenes that needs a RunLoop (and I don't wanna mess around with runloops in NSOperation). The class retains itself until either success or failure is called, or until you send cancel to it. The blocks are nullified afterwards, so don't worry about retain cycles.
