Hi folks,
sorry for bothering you but I don't get to all that code without killing a lot of time.
I need a the code snippet for downloading the MPD-File from youtube. Only a sample request, something in that way. I googled a few days and everytime I come to your code and no one can give me an answer to this question "How to download the MPD file from youtube". In your code the answer is hidden, but I don't find it. Maybe one of you know where to search and can help me a little.

Thanks :)
