This module for the Appcelerator Titanium Alloy MVC framework could be used to easily retrieve streamable url (via http) from a given provider. So far, only Youtube and Limelight are supported. Also, some Youtube's videos are protected via copyright and won't be displayed.

Download this repository and install it

  • In your application's tiapp.xml file, add the module to the modules section:
<modules>
    <module platform="commonjs">ts.videoprovider</module>
</modules>
  • Copy the ts.videoprovider-commonjs-x.x.x.zip bundle into your root app directory.

Or use your favorite package manager

Use it

var VideoProvider = require('ts.videoprovider');

// Assuming there is a VideoPlayer with the id 'videoPlayer' accessible

// ------ Youtube
VideoProvider
    .getVideoUrl('youtube', /* <media_id> */)
    .then(
        function onSuccess(url) { $.videoPlayer.setUrl(url); }, 
        function onError(e) { Ti.API.error(e); }
    );

// ------ Limelight
VideoProvider.configure({
    providers: [{
        name: 'limelight',
        secretKey: /* <secret_key> */, 
        accessKey: /* <access_key> */,
