And you need one

Array
(
    [response] => Array
        (
            [0] => 1
            [1] => Array
                (
                    [vid] => 159622161
                    [owner_id] => 23962687

                        )

                    [player] => http://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=23962687&id=159622161&hash=008045cc2d45fd4d
                )

        )

)

Where is the link to the player with hash
[player] => https://vk.com/video_ext.php?oid=470485952&id=4562...

Answer 1

Well, because there is probably a video from YouTube

Answer 2

In general, it is clear that the VK API itself returns the wrong link.
You can try to combine API + write a bot + deploy everything on a light VDS.
To get just the necessary cache at the end, but this is such a solution.
I would say temporary.
