RadMediaPlayer with enabled YouTube playlist throws 410(gone) response

[Telerik Admin]

The current version of RadMediaPlayer depends on YouTube API 2.0, however YouTube deprecated the YouTube API v2.0 – Playlists which caused the RadMediaPlayer’s YouTube Playlist functionality stop working and the page to return 410 response. More information you can find here:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_protocol_playlists

For the official Q2 2015 release we will migrate the media player to the latest 3.0 version of the YouTube API:

Hello,

As a solution until the new version is published, the items from the Playlist can be added in the code behind. Find the attached page in this post, for example approach.

The workaround is to handle the PreRender event of the MediaPlayer, request the Youtube Playlist list using their new API and then populate the MediaPlayer list.
To prevent old API from calling, you need to remove the playlist settings from your markup, and add empty MediaPlayerVideoFile in the Playlist.

<telerik:RadMediaPlayer ID="RadMediaPlayer1" runat="server" Height="360px" Width="640px"
    OnPreRender="RadMediaPlayer1_PreRender">
    <Playlist>
        <telerik:MediaPlayerVideoFile>
        </telerik:MediaPlayerVideoFile>
    </Playlist>
    <PlaylistSettings />
</telerik:RadMediaPlayer>

And on the PreRender event, populate the list:

protected void RadMediaPlayer1_PreRender(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    AddYoutubeCreatePlaylist(sender as RadMediaPlayer, "PLvmaC-XMqeBaRgdM2nVNSM-0SSG_xbjSN");
}

The second parameter is the Playlist id. And you will find working example in the attached page.

In the Code-Behind of the page you will find property called YoutubeApiKeyResolved. Check the comments, and make sure it returns your API key.

In order to obtain API key. You will need to log into your google account:
https://console.developers.google.com/project/radmediaplayer/apiui/apiview/youtube/overview
Find the "YouTube Data API v3" section and Enable the API.

Then in the Credentials section you will find  "Public API access" click on the Create New Key, and create Server Key.

Once the Q2 2015 comes available, you will not need the workaround anymore (but it will still work). You will just need to set your key in the web.config (directly in the markup of the page)

Update: UI for ASP.NET AJAX Q2 2015

The improvement is now integrated in RadMediaPlayer and there is no need to implement any other additional logic. You still need to add your own YouTube key in the web.config file:

<appSettings>
  ...
  <add key ="YoutubeApiKey" value="YourKeyGoesHere"/>
</appSettings>

 

If you have difficulties obtaining the key, you can generate your own key using the steps here by creating a new google project:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/registering_an_application

Expand the APIs & auth option in the application tree - there you can enable the YouTube API in the APIs subsection and Create your Public API access Server key in the Credentials subsection.
