This is a simple gem to get info and download links for a YouTube Video. It doesn't deal with the different video formats and itags and leaves that logic to the developer; this makes the gem more resiliant to format changes.
This is the simplest way to get ahold of links for a video:
response = YoutubeVideoInfo.download(<video link>)
response.linksYou can also get a list of links grouped by format code with the #links_by_itag method.
A response typically comes with the following information:
- account_playback_token
- ad3_module
- ad_device
- ad_flags
- ad_logging_flag
- ad_preroll
