Usage

• Add a YoutubePlayer component on a GameObject with a VideoPlayer. Set the url in the inspector. The YoutubePlayer will follow the Play On Awake setting of the video player. You can also call YoutubePlayer.PlayVideoAsync.

• In addition, you can call YoutubePlayer.DownloadVideoAsync to download the video to a file instead, with captions in a .srt file format. See the DownloadYoutubeVideo as an example.

• VideoPlayerProgress allows to display the progress of the video, as well as seeking.

• Captions can be downloaded and displayed on a TextMesh Pro component with the YoutubeCaptions script.

• See YoutubePlayer\Scenes\Player for a complete example, and YoutubePlayer\Scenes\Panoramic for playing a 360 video on the skybox.

Dependencies

UnityYoutubePlayer relies heavily on the work done in Tyrrrz/YoutubeExplode which is responsible for parsing and downloading videos and captions. This library has the following dependencies:

• AngleSharp (Github)
• Newtonsoft.Json (Asset Store)

In addition, we use TextMesh Pro to display captions (but this can be easily swapped to use another kind of text UI)
