java - 403 Forbidden when downloading an FLV directly from YouTube -

i'm writing java application download video , convert mp3 (i know there's ton of similar stuff out there, bit of learning experience.)

i'm @ point retrieves list of formats , urls, , downloads videos in mp4 format fine (the thing accomplish straight download url given in stream format map.)

however, youtube gives me 403 forbidden error whenever seek download flv video (which quite big issue since lot of videos available in flv format.) after quick inspection using chrome developer tools turns out there's cookie called activity beingness sent server when starting actual video download, , value similar timestamp received original phone call /watch, 3 digits more accurate (so milliseconds). i'm not sure if problem; generate_204, request caught attending in chrome developer tools.

please don't point me complicated unreadable python/etc. examples. dislike python , i'm not @ level i'm able fluently read else's code (especially if it's big , complicated ;) yet. thanks.

tl;dr - else there youtube send me flv instead of throwing 403 forbidden? have cookies? generate_204? etc..

you should add together “signature” parameter videoplayback url. signature contained in fmt url sig parameter. sig attribute in page source , signature in final url using fiddler example.
