How to proxy a player that will relay YouTube videos to your player?

Question

YouTube

I want to implement a player on the server that will relay YouTube videos to my player.
The place on the VPS is limited, and there are a lot of videos - so you won't be able to cache movies.
I guess that you need to look in the direction of nginx ... But what to use in conjunction with it and how to spin this in general?

Answer 1

well, relay, nginx has nothing to do with it at all, everything will probably be implemented in the player itself.

Answer 2

In order to rebroadcast a video, you will first need to extract a direct link to it. Google does not provide direct links to their videos. Pulling direct links:
1) violates the license agreement
2) difficult to implement
If these two points do not scare you, then there are two options:
- opening a link in a browser and intercepting a direct link by a plug-in for it
- changing the parsing scheme with each change in the youtube layout
