B4A Library YouTubeToMP3

This library will allow you to extract the audio track from YouTube videos and save it as an MP3.

Requirements:

1- B4A 6.x.

2- Copy the YouTubeToMP3.xml and YouTubeToMP3.jar to your additional libraries directory.

3- Compile with SDK < 23, this is due to a glitch in the OkHTTP library which makes this lib not to work (This library uses the HTTP lib).

Usage:

'Initialize the YouTubeToMP3 library.

Private YT As YouTubeToMP3

YT.Initialize(Activity, Me, "Tube")

YT.DownloadAndPlayMP3 = "sI7XiJgt0vY"

*** See the attached sample for more details.


NOTES:

- The "LazySearch" feature doesn't seem to work on versions older than 4.4.

- In very rare cases some MP3s cannot be played using the DownloadAndPlayMP3 method, but can be played using a media player.

- This library was part of a personal project, just sharing it in case someone has some use for it.

Has a problem, the search does not work, just stays on the default, to advance the search page and return to work.

Yes, that's one of the issues, I'm working on a solution.

I have fixed the issue with the LazySearch not working the first time, uploaded a new Lib and sample (it will still show version 1.0, was just a very minor change)

Hi.
By testing some interesting YoutubeToMP3 library version 1.00
I encountered a surprising problem in my opinion.
By running the test on two separate system versions Android 4.3 and 5.1.1
The YT.LazySearch procedure in the example in both versions of Android worked differently:

Sub SearchButton_Click

ProgressDialogShow ("Opening Search ...")

YT.LazySearch = "Technical Difficulties" 'https://www.google.com/search?q=Technical%20Difficulties&tbm=vid,

End Sub

1. at WiFi OFF - (file: Screenshot_2017-08-23-11-34-04)
2. at WiFi ON - (file: Screenshot_2017-08-23-11-35-57)

What I'm reading, in your recommendations, the YouTubeToMP3 v.1.00 library works conditionally at compilation
YouTubeToMP3_Sample (B4A Source Code) application - Version B4A 6.0 and works on devices
With version of Android higher than or equal to v4.4.

So why does not work with v.5.1.1? Is the problem only in using the lower version of B4A from recommended (B4A 6.x.)?

Thank you for any suggestions ...

PS. At compilation I use version B4A 5.20. SDK < 23.

It probably needs to be recompiled with the latest version of B4A.
