Hi all, I can not play video from youtube url(exp: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn57JS9WnAQ). Do you have suggest for it?

You need to convert it to a googlevideo.com URL.

To get a link you would have to build it up yourself, or use a public API such as you-link.

Due to certain YouTube/Google restrictions (such as IP and expiration parameters), it needs to be generated for each individual view.
