Guide to Use Youku.com’s URLS for Go4EntPlayer

Youku.com has two types of URLS

Video URL

We only support video URLS in our player. But you can generate Video URL from other URL format.

They look like

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_ca00XMjQzNzI5NDA=.html

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_ca00XMjQzNzI5NDA.html

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQzNzI5NDA=.html

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMjQzNzI5NDA.html

These are the only valid format we provide support for.

Have a look at the sequence marked in Red. That is Youku Video ID.

So for us Youku Video Id= XMjQzNzI5NDA

Note that Youku video id always starts with X

Suppose you don’t have the complete URL and You found the Youku ID how will you get the complete URL.

Simple!!!

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_ca00 XXXXXXXXXXXX=.html

Take the above and replace XXXXXXXXXXXX with Youku video id. J

Playlist URL

We do not support direct playlist URL but can generate Video URL from the Playlist URL.

They Look like

http://v.youku.com/v_playlist/f1298177o9p0.html

Above URL has 4 video in the playlist. Now we are going to get all 4 videos.

When you open the play list you will have following screen.

Have a look at right side of the page marked in Red Box.

These are the all 4 videos.

For each video SWF URL and Embed Code is different. You will always have SWF URL of the current running video onscreen.

On the screen we have SWF URL and Embed code for now playing Video ie Video 1.

Take the SWF URL for each of the video in the playlist and process according to the SWF URL Section Below.

Do it for each part.

SWF URL

They look like

http://player.youku.com/player.php/Type/Folder/Fid/1298177/Ob/9/Pt/0/sid/XMTc0MTIxODg=/v.swf

Note the Youku Video Id in URL and take the following URL and replace XXXXXXXXXXXX with Youku video id.

http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_ca00 XXXXXXXXXXXX=.html

Your URL for this video will be http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_ca00 XMTc0MTIxODg =.html
